Daily Discovery: Strange Stories and Amazing Facts: Robitussin dosage

Robitussin dosage

Robitussin, an antitussive/expectorant syrup. An over the counter drug for dry cough.

The sales lady in Mercury Drug told me that the Usual Dosage prescribed on the Robitussin box is actually a *requirement*. For adults, recommended dosage is 2-3 teaspoonfuls every 6 hours. It turns out that if you miss one (if you didn't take any for 10-12 hours, then you've messed up the process and you have to start over. She also said that it is recommended that you take it every 6 hours for 3 straight days whereas some doctors prescribe that the patient finish a 120mL bottle.
