A 4 oz bottle of Eldertussin should run around $8 and you can find it at most health food stores or co-op's. You can also order it online.
My kid's have really liked this medicine the couple of times I have had to use it. I feel a lot better using herbal remedies rather than over the counter medicines that will make them groggy. I also am assured they will work!
The dosage suggests it be used 3-4 times daily and there is a weight chart to figure out dosage amounts. This medicine is not recommended for use by pregnant women or children under 1 year of age.
I like all the Herbs for Kid's supplements and it is a brand that parent's can trust. On a scale of 1-10 this remedy get's a 10 from me. Especially the fact that it is all natural and great tasting. It's so easy to get the kid's to take their medicine with this delicious herbal syrup! It is very soothing for colds and helps relieve flu symptoms effectively.
We all know how awful it is to have sick kids and this remedy will help them feel better fast.
This would make a great gift with some other Herbs for Kid's products for new parents.
