Same salt, different brands:

Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Cough

Medicinal Benefits

Cafe Cof Plus Syrup contains Ambroxol, Desloratadine, Guaifenesin, and Menthol used to treat a cough with mucus. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways. Desloratadine is an anti-allergic drug that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Menthol is a cooling agent that produces a cooling sensation and provides relief from minor throat irritation.
