  • Anti-inflammatory

    Reduces inflammation and helps symptoms subside more quickly.

What our customers say

Our customers are convinced – read more about their experiences

The effervescent tablets were recommended to my husband by his family doctor for his persistent dry cough. The remedy is very well tolerated and, when taken in the morning, makes it easier to cough up phlegm throughout the day. Since the doctor's recommendation, we always have it in our medicine cabinet to provide relief for mild colds

I have been taking Prospan for years when I have colds with coughs and have always had very good experiences with it. Since the tablets can also be dissolved in warm water, it is also very pleasant for the throat. I always have Prospan in my medicine cabinet and can highly recommend it!

Claudia V. | medpex.de August 2022

I was able to overcome my recent cold—which included a severe dry cough—in just one week thanks to the natural ingredient ivy, which is found in Prospan effervescent tablets, among other things. It is a relatively inexpensive remedy, as you should dissolve a maximum of 2 tablets per day. In addition to relieving the dry cough, the mucus soon began to clear up. I can only recommend it.

Can I get Prospan® without a prescription?

Yes, all Prospan® products are available without a prescription. This means you can get Prospan® without a prescription at your pharmacy.

Is Prospan® reimbursable?

Prospan® products are not prescription-only, which means they are available at pharmacies without a prescription. However, they can also be recommended on a green prescription, especially for adults:

Statutory health insurance companies have the option of reimbursing the costs of non-prescription medicines that are only available from pharmacies. Some health insurance companies therefore reimburse Prospan®, depending on their statutory benefits. In addition, as a patient, you can claim necessary health expenses in your tax return in individual cases, depending on your income limit. The green prescription and the pharmacy receipt can be used to document private medication expenses. Therefore, when your doctor recommends non-prescription medicines such as Prospan®, ask them to write the prescription on the green prescription form. Here you will find an overview of health insurance companies that reimburse over-the-counter medicines and a sample letter for requesting reimbursement that you can print out.
