About Kuffdryl-D Softgel Capsule

Kuffdryl-D Softgel Capsule belongs to a class of medication called ‘antihistamine’ (anti-allergic), primarily used to treat sneezing, running nose, itches, common cold symptoms, and cough. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ It is also used to induce sleep, treat Parkinson's disease, and relieve cough caused by minor throat or airway irritation.

Kuffdryl-D Softgel Capsule blocks a natural substance (histamine) during an allergic reaction. Besides this, drying effects of Kuffdryl-D Softgel Capsule on allergic symptoms (like watery eyes and runny nose) are caused by blocking another natural substance (acetylcholine). Together it helps relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.

Kuffdryl-D Softgel Capsule is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The doctor will adjust your dose according to your condition and response to the medicine. In some cases, you may experience tiredness, sleepiness, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, sore throat, nausea, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhoea (in children). Most of these side effects of Kuffdryl-D Softgel Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Consume only if the doctor prescribes it. Never encourage self-medication or suggest your medicine to someone else. You should not take the Kuffdryl-D Softgel Capsule if you are allergic to diphenhydramine, have severe liver or kidney problems, or have epilepsy. Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.
