Has anyone ever seen Robitussin cough syrup sold in Seoul at any stores or foreign markets??
If not, what cough syrup sold in Seoul would you recommend?

Go to a doctor and they'll set you up with good cough syrup. As far as I know, you can't get robo over the counter here.

This is the one I go to. It's in Apgujeong near exit 7. If you need more detailed instructions, send me a PM or reply here.[/img]

I usually take some stuff called "pan-pi-rin" (I can't type in hangul on this computer). It is sold over the counter in a box of five little bottles for about 6,000won. I'd say it works pretty well.

The company that makes Haben sys on their website they make Haben Power (with guaifenacin,) but I've never ever seen it in a drugstore and asked quite a few pharmacists who have never seen it, either.

Thanks for the replies. Strangely enough, I've seen a doctor about this, he prescribed some pills, but they did diddy-squat. My school nurse recommended some cough syrup so I'll try it and see what happens..

There's a foreign item store in Sinchon close to the Hyundai Department store. You have to ask for cold medicine, as all that stuff is hidden away in a drawer behind the counter. I got my Nyquil and Theraflu from there.
