About Kuff D Syrup

Kuff D Syrup contains anti-tussive (relieve cough) medication primarily used to treat dry cough. A cough is a reflex action that helps to clear any foreign irritant or mucus in the throat. Mostly cough lasts for a short time (two to three weeks), so it is acute. But sometimes, if it is persistent for more than eight weeks, it can lead to chronic cough. Dry cough refers to a cough where there is no mucus or secretion along with cough.

Kuff D Syrup is a combination drug that contains, Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant), Phenylpropanolamine (decongestant), and Menthol (coolant), primarily used to treat dry cough. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough. Phenylpropanolamine narrows the small blood vessels, relieving congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Menthol produces a cooling sensation and relieves throat irritation.

Kuff D Syrup should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. The most common side effects of Kuff D Syrup are nausea, sleepiness, upset stomach, insomnia (difficulty sleeping), high blood pressure, and palpitations. Most of these side effects of Kuff D Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or breastfeeding before starting Kuff D Syrup . If you have high blood pressure (hypertension), liver or kidney disease, or coronary artery disease (heart disease), avoid using Kuff D Syrup as it may worsen your condition and symptom. Consumption of alcohol should be avoided as it may lead to excessive drowsiness and sleepiness. Do not take Kuff D Syrup if you have taken an MAO inhibitor (anti-depressant medication like Isocarboxazid, Phenelzine, Selegiline, and Tranylcypromine) in the last 14 days.
