They are the same formulation. Both offer 12-hour relief. Single active ingredient simplicity. Great orange taste. In fact, pediatricians have been recommending Delsym® for years. Delsym® children’s package makes it easier for parents to find the only 12-hour cough medicine sold without a prescription. The only difference is in the dosing in children vs. adults.
