It doesn't actually do much more than provide a placebo effect. Here are the ingredients of Covonia:

1.36g Glycerol BP
Excipients: Each 5ml contains Syrup(sucrose) 2.436gm, Liquid Glucose 280.0mg

Interesting, eh?

Why wouldn't 1.36g Glycerol BP not have an effect beyond a placebo effect on a dry and tickly cough ?

Glycerol might have a bowel loosening effect....

Only if you stick it up your arse, apparently. What was your proposed delivery system?

However, I think it's a banned masking agent under the UCI doping rules, so don't try swigging on Covonia halfway through a DH World Cup event. 🙂
