How it works
Probicof 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
Probicof 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 Probicof 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 Probicof Syrup?
Probicof Syrup is indicated for the treatment of wet coughs and aimed at expelling mucus from the airway tract, providing relief from throat irritation, congestion, and soothing effects. For dry coughs, cough suppressants are typically more suitable. Consulting your child's doctor is always recommended before administering any medication to your child.
What if my child takes too much Probicof Syrup?
Overdosage or prolonged use of Probicof Syrup can cause serious side effects such as seizures, rapid heart rate, and excessive salivation. It is crucial to administer this medicine strictly according to the prescribed dosage, timing, and method. Do not stop the medication abruptly, even if your child begins feeling better, as abrupt withdrawal may worsen their condition.
My child has a severe cough. Can I give him two cough medicines together?
Do not administer more than one cough or cold medicine to your child at once unless specifically advised by your child's doctor. If you have any doubts, consult your child's doctor before administering any medication.
Can I give my cough medicine to my child?
Never administer medicines intended for adult use to your child. It is crucial to only use the specific medications formulated for children as these are designed for their unique physiology and may cause unintended side effects. Always check the label of the medicine before administering it to your child, strictly adhering to the prescribed dosage.
How should Probicof Syrup be stored?
Probicof Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry area away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure that all medications are kept out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
