COFEX TABLET

COFEX TABLET belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. 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: 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) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways. 

COFEX TABLET contains Guaifenesin (expectorant) and chlorpheniramine (antiallergic). Guaifenesin loosens the chest and throat congestion, making it easier to cough out. On the other hand, Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.

Take COFEX TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take COFEX TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. You may experience drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, blurred vision, restlessness, headache, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, nose, or throat. Most of these side effects of COFEX TABLET 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 allergic to COFEX TABLET or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Please consult a doctor before taking COFEX TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. COFEX TABLET is not recommended for children below 6 years. Drive only if you are alert, as COFEX TABLET may cause blurred vision, drowsiness, or dizziness. Avoid consumption of alcohol with COFEX TABLET as it may increase the risk of adverse effects. Drink plenty of fluids to protect yourself from being dehydrated or overheated during exercise and in hot weather, as COFEX TABLET decreases sweating and increases heatstroke risk. 

COFEX TABLET is used to treat a chesty cough. The detailed uses of COFEX TABLET are as follows:

• Relief from Cough: COFEX TABLET is frequently used to treat persistent coughs caused by colds, allergies, or asthma. It soothes the throat by minimising irritation.
• Expectorant Properties: COFEX TABLET loosens mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to expel phlegm and breathe.
• Eases breathing in respiratory conditions: It relaxes the airway muscles, improving airflow and reducing wheezing or shortness of breath.
• Breaks down mucus: It thins and dissolves mucus, making it easier to clear from the respiratory tract.

• COFEX TABLET can be taken with or without food or as advised by your doctor.

COFEX TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Guaifenesin and chlorpheniramine. Guaifenesin works by loosening the congestion in the chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through the mouth. On the other hand, Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It directly acts on the brain and relieves symptoms of allergies by preventing the release of histamine. It helps to provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness.

Please consult a doctor before taking COFEX TABLET if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you have high blood pressure, fits, glaucoma, chronic bronchitis, or asthma. Avoid using COFEX TABLET if you are suffering from stomach ulcers, as it may worsen the condition. If you have stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a birth defect that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), kidney or liver problems, inform your doctor before taking COFEX TABLET. Drive only if you are alert as COFEX TABLET may cause blurred vision, drowsiness, or dizziness. Avoid consumption of alcohol with COFEX TABLET as it may increase the risk of adverse effects.
