Introduction
Kofmax AM Syrup is a medication used to treat wet cough in children. It contains three active ingredients: Ambroxol, Guaifenesin, and Terbutaline. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in thinning and loosening mucus, decreasing its stickiness, and relaxing airway muscles. The medication is available in syrup form and is taken orally, with or without food. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and duration to ensure effective treatment and minimize the risk of side effects.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Kofmax AM Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Kofmax AM Syrup contains three active medicines. Each ingredient present in this medicine plays a pivotal role. Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), 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.
Quick Tips
Kofmax AM Syrup may make your child feel sleepy. Advise your child to be cautious when taking part in physical activities. Do not share your child’s medicines with other children, even if they show similar symptoms. Stop Kofmax AM Syrup and immediately report to the doctor if your child develops an itchy rash, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Practice self-care tips: clean and disinfect surfaces after sneezing and coughing, give your child plenty of fluids, restrain your child from having caffeinated products and foods that are spicy and fried, make your child gargle with warm saltwater, and ensure your child takes enough rest.

Frequently asked questions
My child has a cough with no mucus. Can I give Kofmax AM Syrup?
Kofmax AM Syrup is not recommended for use in cases of dry coughs. It is primarily designed to relieve wet coughs by expelling mucus from the airway, providing relief from throat irritation, congestion, and soothing effects. For dry cough, cough suppressants are generally preferred. Always consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
What if my child takes too much Kofmax AM Syrup?
Overdosing on Kofmax AM Syrup may lead to serious side effects like seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. Ensure strict adherence to the prescribed dosage, timing, and method of administration for your child. Avoid abruptly stopping the medication even if symptoms improve. Sudden withdrawal can potentially worsen your child's condition.
My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?
It is not advisable to administer more than one cough or cold medicine at a time unless specifically advised by your child's doctor. If you have any uncertainty, seek guidance from your child's physician before administering any medication.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never administer medications intended for adult use to children. Always use medicines specifically formulated for pediatric patients, as these are designed and tested to be safe for their specific needs. Verify the medication label before administering it to your child. Follow the prescribed dosage carefully.
How should Kofmax AM Syrup be stored?
Kofmax AM Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry, cool location away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Keep all medicines out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
