About Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml

Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to relieve cough accompanied by cold symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Additionally, Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml also helps in providing relief from allergies. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby helps in preventing respiratory infection. 
 
Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml contains Ammonium chloride (expectorant) and Diphenhydramine (antihistamine). Ammonium chloride helps in loosening the congestion in the chest and throat, thereby making it easier to cough out phlegm through the mouth. Diphenhydramine works by blocking the action of a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Together, Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml provides relief from cough. 
 
You are advised to take Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, stomach upset, dizziness, tiredness, and dry mouth. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Avoid taking Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml if you are breastfeeding. Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml is not recommended for children below 6 years. Avoid consuming alcohol with Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml as it could lead to increased dizziness.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Cough can be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) develops sputum (phlegm or mucus) from the lungs, whereas a dry cough does not produce sputum. 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.
