About COFDEX P LIQUID

COFDEX P LIQUID belongs to the class of medications called ‘Expectorant and Cough products’ used in the treatment of dry cough associated with cold/flu, allergies, and throat irritants. A cough is a reflex action that helps to clear any foreign irritant or mucus in the throat. Dry cough refers to a cough with no mucus (sputum) or secretions. A dry cough is mostly treated with cough suppressants and throat lozenges.

COFDEX P LIQUID contains Bromhexine, Dextromethorphan, and Phenylpropanolamine. Bromhexine is an expectorant/mucolytic agent which thins mucus (phlegm) making it cough out easily.  Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant and acts by blocking the action of the cough centre in the brain that is responsible for the cough reflex. Phenylpropanolamine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose.

You should take this medicine exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of COFDEX P LIQUID are dizziness, headache, confusion, slow or shallow breathing, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, tremors, diarrhoea, stomach pain, skin rash, itching, palpitations (pounding heartbeat), and insomnia (difficulty to sleep). These side-effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side-effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take COFDEX P LIQUID if you are allergic to any contents of it. Do not use COFDEX P LIQUID if you have taken monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, a type of antidepressant in the past 14 days. Before taking COFDEX P LIQUID, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye), and an enlarged prostate gland or difficulty urinating. It is not recommended for use in children below 4 years of age. It should be used with caution in pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and elderly people. Alcohol may increase the risk of side-effects. COFDEX P LIQUID may cause dizziness, so do not drive, or operate heavy machinery if you are not fully alert.
