Boots glycerin, lemon and honey linctus I have sampled many cough mixtures/linctuses over the years and also tried them out on my husband and my four children. I honestly feel that most don't have that much effect. I do feel that to 'break up' a chesty cough Benylin is worth using and does give some good results and a few others seem quite good too (Covonia amongst these) but most have, in my experience, only a little efficacy. But I find with most coughs that I suffer from (fortunately only occasionally) are most troublesome at night. I sometimes need a linctus to help to soothe my throat before getting off to sleep and for those annoying ...  Read the complete review

I celebrated my birthday last month by partying very hard! The result was a 2-week long cold with sore throat, cough and killer headaches :( I was suffering pretty badly with my cold (more like a girl's version of man flu really!) and was in need of something to relieve my symptoms. I opted for this Glycerin, Honey and Lemon Linctus which is a Boots own brand product. It is available exclusively from Boots and costs £1.59 for a 200ml bottle. Product description: "A linctus which soothes and relieves the symptoms of sore throats and coughs." The Linctus comes in a glass bottle with a screw top lid. The liquid inside has a bright yellow ...  Read the complete review

As I've been suffering for the past two weeks with an extremely sore throat accompanied by an annoying tickly cough it was necessary to look in my medicine cabinet for something to relieve my symptoms. Whilst the cabinet was filled with an array of throat sweets, pain killers and stomach remedies, unfortunately, my Boots Glycerin, Honey and Lemon Linctus was rather out of date. Consequently, I took a trip to my local Boots store to replenish the product, which is contained within a 200 ml glass bottle with a blue screw top lid. The familiar blue and white Boots logo is situated in the top left hand corner and we are advised that this product will provide ...  Read the complete review

Every time I have a sore throat or a cough this is always the medicine that I take above everything else. It seems to help every single time and makes my throat feel a lot better. This is a liquid medicine that, although it doesn't completely get rid of sore throats and coughs, it does relive the pain a lot and seems to moisturise your throat. The medicine looks quite appealing, which is unusual for any type of medicine, and has a golden brown honey colour. The taste is probably quite an acquired one that I didn't particularly like at first but now I'm used to it and it's actually pretty nice now. The taste is a mixture of bitter and sweet - the ...  Read the complete review

It's one thing after another with children isn't it, one of my boys got over chicken pox and my other boy got it straightaway, now the one who has been rid of them has got a bit of cold and a cough so I popped to Boots earlier to buy some cough medicine. I picked up a bottle of Tixylix first as I have used this before but was told it was for children over 6 and advised to buy a completely different bottle of medicine. The pharmacist advised me on a 200ml see through glass bottle of Boots Glycerin Honey and Lemon Linctus which is meant to relieve coughs and sore throats. The bottle was only going to cost me £1.49 which was over a £1 cheaper than the usual ...  Read the complete review
