About Kuffq Tablet 10's

Kuffq Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medication called ‘cough and cold preparations’ primarily used to treat symptoms of common cold and allergies such as sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, 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.

Kuffq Tablet 10's is a combination of five drugs, namely: Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Bromhexine (mucolytic agent), Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic), and Guaifenesin (expectorant). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production. Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out easily. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways.

Take Kuffq Tablet 10's as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend how often you take Kuffq Tablet 10's based on your medical condition. Some people may experience drowsiness, nervousness, headache, dizziness, restlessness, flushing (redness of the skin), loss of appetite, vomiting, insomnia (difficulty in falling or staying asleep), nausea, stomach upset, blurred vision, constipation, and dry mouth, nose or throat. Most of these side effects of Kuffq Tablet 10's 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 Kuffq Tablet 10's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Kuffq Tablet 10's. Do not use Kuffq Tablet 10's in breastfeeding mothers without a doctor’s advice as it may be excreted in breast milk and cause harm to the baby. Avoid using Kuffq Tablet 10's if you have taken medicines such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, rasagiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine, and methylene blue injection in the past 14 days. Drink plenty of fluids while taking Kuffq Tablet 10's to loosen mucus and protect yourself from being dehydrated or overheated during exercise and in hot weather as Kuffq Tablet 10's contains chlorpheniramine that decreases sweating and increases the risk of heatstroke. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes fits, glaucoma, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), stomach ulcer, chronic bronchitis, asthma, cough with mucus, cough caused by smoking, chronic bronchitis or emphysema (a lung condition causing shortness of breath), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), blockage in stomach or intestines, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), enlarged prostate, pheochromocytoma (tumor in the adrenal glands), kidney, liver, heart or urinary problems, inform your doctor before taking Kuffq Tablet 10's.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Common cold: The common cold 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 symptoms of the common cold include sneezing, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pains, low fever, mild headache, feeling unwell, and stuffy or runny nose. In some cases, the discharge from the nose may become thicker and yellow or green, which is an indication of bacterial infection.

Allergies: These occur when foreign elements known as allergens attack and invade our body, thereby causing the release of histamines. This chemical messenger 'histamines' 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.
