Introduction
Kuffdot DX Syrup is a combination medicine used to treat symptoms of the common cold and cough. It contains Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Phenylephrine acts as a decongestant, narrowing small blood vessels to relieve nasal congestion. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic that alleviates symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant that reduces the activity of the cough center in the brain. While effective, it is important to use this medication as directed by a healthcare provider, especially considering potential side effects and warnings related to pregnancy, breastfeeding, and alcohol consumption.
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. Kuffdot DX Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Kuffdot DX Syrup is a combination of three medicines: Phenylephrine, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Phenylephrine is a decongestant which narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from congestion or stuffiness in the nose. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant which relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain.
Quick Tips
Kuffdot DX Syrup helps in the treatment of dry cough and other common cold symptoms. It is usually taken only for a short time until the symptoms clear up. Measure the syrup with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor if your cough persists for more than 1 week, tends to recur, or is accompanied by a fever, rash, or persistent headache.
