Petit Drill

Petit Drill is a pediatric syrup developed by Pierre Fabre Medicament, specifically formulated to alleviate throat irritation associated with dry cough in infants (from 6 months) and children (up to 6 years). The product is primarily composed of glycerol, which functions as a demulcent. Upon administration, the glycerol forms a protective, lubricating film over the pharyngeal mucosa, which serves to hydrate the throat and reduce the mechanical irritation that triggers coughing. Petit Drill is notable for being sugar-free, colorant-free, and paraben-free, and it is typically classified as a medical device in European markets due to its physical mode of action rather than a pharmacological, immunological, or metabolic one.
