What is the difference between Prospan cough medicine made in Germany and imported from Vietnam?

(Dan Tri) - Having been present in the market for many decades, Prospan has kept the trust of millions of users thanks to its commitment: every box of medicine, whether in Vietnam, Germany or other countries, meets European quality thanks to a consistent and transparent production process.

Consumer concerns

For a long time, the mentality of preferring foreign goods and hand-carried goods has become a part of the habits of a segment of Vietnamese consumers. Among them, many people still believe that the German domestic cough medicine Prospan is the real quality while Prospan sold in pharmacies with bilingual packaging in English and Vietnamese is a joint venture version, specifically for the Vietnamese market, so the quality is lower.

In fact, there is no difference in quality between Prospan cough medicine bottles sold in Vietnam and in Germany.

Engelhard Arzneimittel - the manufacturer and also the "father" of the brand affirmed: "Every bottle of Prospan sold is produced at only one Engelhard factory in Germany and meets European standards." This is also the brand's commitment to help dispel all doubts and strengthen trust in the consistent quality of all Prospan cough medicine products distributed in more than 100 countries around the world .

For over a decade, Engelhard has been striving to bring consumers high-quality health products. The brand representative said that the company's Prospan cough medicine products are produced on the same production line with the same formula, there is no difference between domestic German products and export products.

Although the packaging is in different languages, Prospan products are all manufactured at the Engelhard Arzneimittel factory in Germany on a modern production line according to GMP-EU standards.

The factory is equipped with modern machinery and equipment. The production areas are guaranteed product quality.

A Prospan formula applied globally

Many consumers mistakenly believe that Prospan products with bilingual English-Vietnamese packaging sold in Vietnam and Prospan products sold in Germany are different versions.

However, in reality, the brand representative affirmed that cough syrups for children produced domestically in Germany or exported to more than 100 countries around the world, including Vietnam... are all produced according to an exclusive formula with the main ingredient being dried ivy leaf extract with the same content.

The only difference is the language and packaging design, which are adjusted to comply with each country's import regulations, while also making it easy for local users to read and understand the necessary information when using.

“Consumers can rest assured that there is no difference in quality and cough relief effectiveness between products sold in Germany or in other countries like Vietnam,” said the brand representative.

Outstanding efficiency, meeting European standards

Prospan syrup is an effective cough treatment solution imported from Germany. The product has affirmed its superior quality through a series of strict tests according to European standards. Prospan's main ingredient is ivy leaves extracted according to a special process registered with the European Patent Office (EPO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Ivy leaf extract in the product has the effect of liquefying phlegm produced by inflammation, while also preventing bronchial spasms, thereby helping to reduce cough without losing the body's natural cough reflex.

Prospan cough medicine does not contain sugar, alcohol or colorants. The product is highly safe, suitable for infants, adults and people with diabetes. In Vietnam, Prospan is recommended as a safe and effective solution for cough symptoms caused by acute respiratory infections and chronic bronchitis, especially in children.

“With a commitment to one formula - one global quality standard, Prospan has demonstrated transparency, consistency and prestige for over 150 years, bringing complete trust to users worldwide,” the brand representative emphasized.
