About Recofast Syrup

Recofast Syrup belongs to the class of medications called ‘cough and cold preparations’ used to treat the common cold and allergic symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, and blocked nose. The common cold is an infection of the nose and throat caused by viruses. Allergies are immune system reactions to foreign bodies or allergens such as certain foods, chemicals, pet dander, or pollen.

Recofast Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Triprolidine and Phenylephrine. Triprolidine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels of nasal passage and airways.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Recofast Syrup are dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, and trouble sleeping. These side-effects are usually mild and don’t require medical attention. However, consult your doctor immediately if any of these side-effects persist or get worsen.

Do not use Recofast Syrup if you are allergic to Triprolidine, Phenylephrine, or any other contents in it. Recofast Syrup is not recommended for use in patients suffering from constipation, inability to urinate, stomach blockage, uncontrolled asthma, glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye), high blood pressure, heart diseases, or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Do not take Recofast Syrup if you have taken MAO inhibitors (antidepressants) in the last 14 days. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting Recofast Syrup.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Common cold: The common cold is an infection caused by viruses, mainly 'rhinovirus' affecting your nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Children younger than 6 years of age 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 dust, pollutants, etc. Common cold symptoms include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pain, mild headache, sneezing, low-grade fever, and feeling unwell (malaise). In some cases, the discharge from your nose may become thicker and yellow or green, which is not an indication of a bacterial infection. If you observe these symptoms, immediately contact your doctor.

Allergies: Allergy occurs when foreign elements or allergens attack and invade our body, stimulating the immune system to release histamines. Histamines are chemical substances that cause symptoms such as 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.
