    Soothes the urge to cough so you can quickly get back to your daily routine without being bothered by coughing fits.

  • Anti-inflammatory

    Reduces inflammation and helps symptoms subside more quickly.

wattwurm | DocMorris September 2020

As I was unable to sleep well at night due to my cough and kept waking up, I ordered Prospan Liquid. It worked very well after the first dose and I had a peaceful night's sleep. The recommended dosage is sufficient. I will definitely buy it again. The delivery arrived within two days.

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.
