Brief Answer:
Robitussin Dry Cough Forte is best for you !!!

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the consultation at my virtual clinic!
I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns today and will put my best efforts to get you out of this situation.

Robitussin dry cough forte, CoughRest, Sancos are some of the potent formulations in category of cough syrups you need.


But we also have to see where this cough is coming from. Cough is only a symptom. It is usually due to the inflammation and infection of the respiratory tract. So we also need to add Claritin to reduce irritation.


Gargles with Scope OR Listerine will soothe throat irritation. Also keep Warm Mist Vaporizer in your room for soothing airways and a comfortable sleep.

Sometimes cough is associated to chest infection and needs antibiotics and proper evaluation by a Pulmonologist.

Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you with expert opinion. Please don't forget to give Five Star rating to help me assist my patients in a better way; and, please don't forget to 'Close This Discussion'.
For any disease you have, a timely follow-up is very necessary regarding the treatment efficacy and to see if there is a need to change the treatment options. So keep a follow up to see how you doing (Always write down my name in the start of your questions at this forum & I will be with you in no time).

Brief Answer:
Yes it should be available at your major local pharmacies !!!

Welcome and thanks for the consultation at my virtual clinic!


Yes Robitussin dry cough forte is a formulation of pfizer pharmaceuticals and will be available near you at major local pharmacies. If in case they say it isn't available, ask them to give pfizer pharmaceutical-dry cough syrup because sometimes they name the same product differently in different regions of the world. But the active ingredients and effectiveness remain the same.
