Introduction
Cuftec Syrup is a medication used to treat wet cough (cough with mucus) in children. It helps in thinning the mucus by increasing its water content, relieving throat irritation and clearing congestion, enabling easy breathing in your child. It contains three active medicines: Ambroxol, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline. Each ingredient plays a pivotal role in treating the symptoms of wet cough. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out. Guaifenesin is an expectorant that decreases the stickiness of the mucus and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator that relaxes and widens the muscles in the airways.

Frequently asked questions
My child has a cough with no mucus. Can I give Cuftec Syrup?
Cuftec Syrup is intended for treating wet coughs. It aims to clear mucus from the airway, relieving throat irritation, congestion, and providing soothing effects. For dry coughs, cough suppressants are typically more effective. Consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
What if my child takes too much Cuftec Syrup?
Overdose or prolonged use of Cuftec Syrup can cause serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. Always administer the prescribed dosage, at the specified time and manner. Do not abruptly stop medication after your child starts feeling better, as this may worsen their condition. Consult your doctor for guidance.

Do not administer more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless specifically advised by your child's doctor. If unsure, always consult your child's doctor before administering any medications.
