I consider this cough mixture to be the 'male' of all cough medicines, Covonia is to cough medicine what 'Yorkie' bars are to chocolate, 100% male, it's strong, fast acting and is tough on your troublesome cough, this original flavour is an excellent 'allrounder' in my opinion but if you have a more specific cough condition then check out Covonia's other products. The taste is great, to be honest I drink it even when I don't have a cough, it is expensive but then I really shouldn't drink so much, sometimes I even pretend to be bad so our lass buys some more from the shops! I wouldn't fight that bull who advertises it like, he looks solid, I bet his jabs are proper rapid!
