About COFEX TABLET
COFEX TABLET belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.
COFEX TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Guaifenesin (expectorant) and chlorpheniramine (antiallergic). Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that loosen the chest and throat congestion, making it easier to cough out. On the other hand, Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It directly acts on the brain and relieves symptoms of allergies by preventing the release of histamine. It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.
Take COFEX TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take COFEX TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, blurred vision, restlessness, headache, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, nose, or throat. Most of these side effects of COFEX TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to COFEX TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please consult a doctor before taking COFEX TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The COFEX TABLET is not recommended for children below 6 years. Drive only if you are alert as COFEX TABLET may cause blurred vision, drowsiness, or dizziness. Avoid consumption of alcohol with COFEX TABLET as it may increase the risk of adverse effects. Drink plenty of fluids while taking COFEX TABLET to protect yourself from being dehydrated or overheated during exercise and in hot weather as COFEX TABLET decreases sweating and increases heatstroke risk.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Cough: Coughing is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-colored, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
Allergies: It occurs when foreign elements are known as allergens attack and invade our body, thereby causing histamines' release. This chemical messenger 'histamine' causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, itchy/watery nose and throat, and watery eyes. Allergies generally occur due to chemicals, air pollution, pet danders, dust, pollen hairs, seasonal allergies like hay fever, etc.
