About Planokuf D Syrup 60 ml

Planokuf D Syrup 60 ml belongs to the class of medications called 'cough and cold preparations' primarily used to treat dry cough. In addition to this, it also helps to treat allergic symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, throat irritation. 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 which can lead to chronic cough. Dry cough refers to cough where there is no mucus or secretion along with cough.

Planokuf D Syrup 60 ml is composed of four medicines, namely: Cetirizine (antihistamine/antiallergic), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant) and menthol (cooling/soothing agent). Cetirizine belongs to the class of antihistamines (antiallergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion or stiffness. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing stuffy nose. Dextromethorphan works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough. Menthol is an additive that acts as a cooling agent that relieves minor irritation in the throat. 

Planokuf D Syrup 60 ml is available in liquid form (syrup). Your doctor will recommend how often you take Planokuf D Syrup 60 ml based on your medical condition. The dose of Planokuf D Syrup 60 ml should be measured with a measuring cup and not with a spoon to avoid dose fluctuations.
