Hyland's Kids Nighttime Cough & Mucus, Grape, 4 fl oz

Hyland's Kids Cough & Mucus Nighttime is a grape-flavored homeopathic syrup in a single 4 fl oz bottle. The package identifies it for children ages 2–12 and labels it free of alcohol, sugar, parabens and dyes. Its nighttime formula differs from the daytime Cough & Mucus syrup and from the brand's organic All-in-One supplements.

Nighttime positioning and homeopathic evidence

Hyland's markets this formula for cough, mucus, congestion and runny nose, with an additional sleeplessness indication. These uses are based on traditional homeopathic practice rather than accepted medical evidence. The nighttime designation is not a guarantee of sleep or proof of a sedating effect.

Claims based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence. Not FDA evaluated.

Nighttime preparations and grape-flavored base

The manufacturer lists Antimonium Tartaricum 15X HPUS, Bryonia Alba 15X HPUS, Chamomilla 6X HPUS, Ferrum Phosphoricum 12X HPUS, Hepar Sulph Calc 12X HPUS, Hydrastis Canadensis 15X HPUS, Ipecacuanha 12X HPUS, Phosphorus 15X HPUS, Pulsatilla 12X HPUS and Rumex Crispus 6X HPUS.

Age-specific measured directions

Children ages 2 to under 6 years: 5 mL every 4 hours, up to 6 times per day. Children ages 6 to under 12 years: 10 mL every 4 hours, up to 6 times per day. Follow the supplied label for directions at age 12 and above. Do not extend these children's directions to those under 2 years.

Measure the liquid in mL according to the label. Do not assume that a nighttime product has the same schedule as a different bedtime syrup. The 4 fl oz bottle volume is not a fixed number of nights of use.

Cough and sore-throat precautions

Consult a doctor promptly for a severe sore throat, one lasting more than 2 days, or one accompanied or followed by fever, headache, rash, nausea or vomiting. Ask a doctor before use for a persistent or chronic cough, including one associated with asthma, chronic bronchitis or emphysema, or a cough accompanied by excessive phlegm.

Stop use and ask a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 7 days or worsen; if inflammation, fever or infection is present or develops; or if a cough recurs or is accompanied by fever, rash or persistent headache. Read all warnings on the supplied package.
