About Kuff-Q NF Tablet 10's

Kuff-Q NF Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medication called ‘cough and cold preparations’ primarily used to treat symptoms of common cold and allergies such as sneezing, runny/stuffy nose, fever, headache, body pains, congestion, or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by viruses known as ‘rhinoviruses’. The virus enters the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when the person who is sick sneezes, coughs, or talks.

Kuff-Q NF Tablet 10's contains Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine), Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant), Bromhexine hydrochloride (mucolytic agent), Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic) and Guaiphenesin (expectorant). Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Phenylephrine hydrochloride works by contracting and narrowing the blood vessels. Thereby, provides relief from congestion and decreases mucus production. Bromhexine hydrochloride works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out easily. Paracetamol inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Guaiphenesin increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus, and helps to remove it from the airways.

Take Kuff-Q NF Tablet 10's as prescribed. You are advised to take Kuff-Q NF Tablet 10's for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.
