Overview

Decafed Linctus is supplied as a healthcare product, with Dextromethorphan. It is supplied in pack sizes of 60ml and 120ml.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Decafed Linctus should be taken by mouth using the measuring cup or spoon provided, following the dose stated on the product label or as advised by a pharmacist, and should not be taken together with other cough or cold products that also contain dextromethorphan to avoid exceeding the recommended daily amount.

Dosage

The dose depends on the age of the person taking it and should follow the instructions on the product packaging or a pharmacist’s advice; the exact strength per 5ml is not stated here and should be confirmed from the product label, and the maximum daily dose should never be exceeded.
