Ryukakusan is a throat medicine that has been used for over 200 years in Japan to treat coughs, phlegm, and throat pain.
The Ryukakusan brand is now releasing a new granule-type medication “Ryukakusan Direct Stick” and a lozenge-type medication “Ryukakusan Direct Lozenge.”
The stick-type version comes in peach and mint flavors. The lozenge-type is available in a mango and menthol flavor, making it easy to swallow.
The main ingredients are herbal medicines (a natural plant with medicinal properties) such as platycodon root and senega. The components of herbal medicine act directly on the affected areas of the throat’s mucus membranes and activate the throat’s ciliary movements (throat function to expel contaminants that enter the body), and they also help to break up phlegm, soothe coughs, and relieve painful symptoms.
