Makofz BR Syrup

Makofz BR Syrup is 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, thereby preventing respiratory infection. Cough has two types: dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough means it's tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Makofz BR Syrup is a combination of three drugs, namely Guaifenesin, Terbutaline and Bromhexine. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that works by increasing the volume of fluid in the airways, reducing the stickiness of mucus and helping to remove it from the airways. Terbutaline belongs to the class of bronchodilators that relax muscles and widen the airways. Thus, it makes breathing easier. Bromhexine belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thus, it helps cough out easily.

Use Makofz BR Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, headache, dizziness, skin rash, tremors, stomach upset and fast heartbeats. Most of these side effects of Makofz BR Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Makofz BR Syrup or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Makofz BR Syrup. If you have a history of fits or are suffering from fits, please inform your doctor before taking Makofz BR Syrup as it may increase the risk of recurrent fits. If you have diabetes, regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking Makofz BR Syrup. If you have diabetes, fits, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, stomach ulcers, phenylketonuria (a congenital disability that causes accumulation of amino acid, phenylalanine in the body), kidney, liver or heart problems, please inform your doctor before taking Makofz BR Syrup.
