COFVYN TABLET

COFVYN TABLET belongs to the class of cough and cold medications primarily used to treat symptoms of the common cold such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as “rhinoviruses”. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

COFVYN TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Bromhexine (mucolytic) and Pseudoephedrine (decongestant). Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Pseudoephedrine belongs to the class of nasal decongestants that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, it provides relief from a blocked nose.

Take COFVYN TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take COFVYN TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

Common cold: It is an infection caused by the virus, mainly known as ‘rhinoviruses’, affecting the nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Children younger than 6 years are at the most significant risk of colds, but healthy adults can also be affected to have 2-3 colds annually. In most cases, cold symptoms are recovered within a week or ten days. However, symptoms might last longer in people who smoke or are exposed to allergens like pollutants, dust, etc. The common cold symptoms include sneezing, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pains, low fever, mild headache, feeling unwell, stuffy, or runny nose. In some cases, the discharge from the nose may become thicker and yellow or green, which is not an indication of bacterial infection.
