Lorfast-Am Syrup 60 ml

Lorfast-Am Syrup is used to treat allergic symptoms (like sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy nose/throat), 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.

Lorfast-Am Syrup is a combination drug containing three medicines: Loratadine, ambroxol, and guaifenesin. Loratadine 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 symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways.

Take Lorfast-Am Syrup as suggested. The doctor will adjust the dose you are given according to your condition and response to the medicine. In some cases, you may experience nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, headache, allergic reaction, and sleepiness. Most of these side effects of Lorfast-Am Syrup 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. Inform your doctor, before taking Lorfast-Am Syrup, if you have severe liver or kidney problems, peptic or duodenal ulcers. Increase the intake of fluids so that mucus is loosened. Before using Lorfast-Am Syrup, ask a doctor if you are taking alcohol, sedatives or tranquillizers, as using Lorfast-Am Syrup with recreational drugs might induce drowsiness. It is advisable not to drive any motor vehicle or operate heavy machinery as increased drowsiness and dizziness can occur after taking Lorfast-Am Syrup. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, ask a doctor before its use. Speak to your doctor if your symptoms do not go away after taking Lorfast-Am Syrup for 5 days. Before using Lorfast-Am Syrup, speak to your doctor if you are breastfeeding a baby or if you are pregnant.

Lorfast-Am Syrup is a combination drug containing three medicines: Loratadine, ambroxol, and guaifenesin. Lorfast-Am Syrup is primarily used to treat allergic symptoms like sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itchy nose/throat, common cold, and cough. Loratadine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Thus, it helps provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing/runny nose, red/itchy/watery eyes, throat swelling, itchy throat, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose for coughing out easily. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways.

Allergy: It is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander. One of the symptoms of allergy is cough.

Cough: Coughing is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. 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. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-coloured, you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
