About Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml

Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml belongs to a class of medications called 'expectorants'. It is used in the treatment of cough. Cough is defined as the sudden expulsion of air out of the lungs due to irritation through the throat with a sharp noise. Cough is classified into two types, namely: Dry cough and wet cough. A dry cough is tickly without the production of vicious or thick mucus, while a wet cough is the production of vicious or thick mucus. 

Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml is a combination of Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Chlorpheniramine, Sodium citrate (mucolytic agent), Ammonium chloride, and Menthol (cooling agent). Paracetamol inhibits the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) in the brain responsible for pain and fever. Ammonium chloride works by irritating the airways, which increases respiratory tract fluid production and decreases the stickiness of mucus that can be coughed out easily. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Sodium citrate works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Menthol provides relief from minor throat irritation by giving a cooling sensation. Together, Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml helps to provide relief from cough.

Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml should be taken as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will decide the dose of the medicine based on your medical condition. Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml may cause certain side effects such as nausea, stomach upset, dizziness, dry mouth, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, blurred vision, constipation, and restlessness. Most of these side effects of Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml should be avoided if you are allergic to any of the medicines or the components in them. Kolq Plus Suspension 60 ml is not recommended for children below six years of age. Inform your doctor if you have/had liver/kidney disease, glaucoma, seizures, heart disease, lung disease, stomach problem, phenylketonuria (a birth defect that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), or urinary problems. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Cough is defined as the sudden expelling of air out of the lungs due to irritation through the throat with a sharp noise. Cough is classified into two types, namely: Dry cough and wet cough. A dry cough is tickly without the production of any vicious or thick mucus, while a wet cough is the production of any vicious or thick mucus. Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, you may have allergies or minor infections in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
