Cofchar Syrup is used to treat cough due to runny nose, sneezing, and throat irritation. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) produces mucous or sputum.
Cofchar Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Chlorphenamine maleate and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide. Chlorphenamine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide blocks the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Together, Cofchar Syrup helps to relieve cough, cold and allergic symptoms.
Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration of Cofchar Syrup based on your medical condition. Some people may experience dry mouth/throat/nose, drowsiness, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, and restlessness. Most of these side effects of Cofchar Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before starting Cofchar Syrup. Cofchar Syrup is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. Cofchar Syrup may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Cofchar Syrup as it may cause increased dizziness and drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
Cofchar Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Chlorphenamine maleate (antihistamine) and Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (cough suppressant). Chlorphenamine maleate belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic that work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide belongs to the class of cough suppressants that block the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough. Thus, together Cofchar Syrup helps to relieve cough, cold and allergic symptoms.
Do not take Cofchar Syrup if you are allergic to any of the contents. Avoid using Cofchar Syrup if you have taken medicines such as linezolid, phenelzine, selegiline, rasagiline, isocarboxazid, tranylcypromine, and methylene blue injection in the past 14 days. It is advised to seek medical help if the cough does not go away or if it is followed by a high fever, skin rash, or persistent headache. Cofchar Syrup may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision in some patients; therefore, drive only if you are alert. Cofchar Syrup should not be used in elderly patients with confusion. Avoid alcohol consumption along with Cofchar Syrup as it might cause increased dizziness.
Drug-Drug Interaction: Cofchar Syrup may interact with anti-allergic drugs (diphenhydramine), antidepressants (escitalopram, desvenlafaxine, vilazodone).
Drug-Food Interaction: No interactions found/established.
Drug-Disease Interaction: Inform your doctor if you have glaucoma, urinary problems, enlarged prostate, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), cough with mucus or cough caused by asthma, smoking, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema (a lung condition causing shortness of breath).
Avoid dairy products such as milk as they may increase mucus production. Also, avoid processed or refined foods. Instead, replace baked foods, fried foods, white bread, white pasta, french fries, sugary desserts, and chips with green leafy vegetables.
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid a dry throat. It also helps loosen mucus.
Avoid citrus fruits as they may worsen the cough.
Eat fruits rich in water content, such as pears, watermelon, peaches, and pineapples.
Cough: Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Cough may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. A dry cough does not produce any mucus or phlegm. It usually occurs due to irritation in the airways. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection, but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract.
