What Makes Prospan Different?
Prospan is the world’s no.1 natural chesty cough medicine. It is made with ivy leaf but not just any old ivy leaf. In fact it contains a specific extract from the leaves of the ivy plant (Hedera helix) known as EA 575. Prospan with EA 575 has been shown to provide chesty cough relief in numerous clinical trials and scientific studies around the world, involving more than 65,000 adults and children.1-6
Natural medicines can vary considerably depending on the species of plant chosen, the way it is grown and harvested, the extraction and the production processes. So it’s essential to ensure the product you’re getting is the same as the one proven in clinical trials to relieve chesty coughs.
