Planokuf Syrup 60ml is a combination medicine used to relieve cough and symptoms associated with the common cold or upper respiratory allergies. Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. An allergy occurs when your body is attacked or invaded by allergy-causing agents known as allergens. The common cold is an infection caused by viruses, mainly 'rhinovirus' affecting your nose and throat (upper respiratory tract).
 
Planokuf Syrup 60ml is a combination of three drugs, namely: Chlorpheniramine, Codeine, and Menthol. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Codeine is a cough suppressant which reduces cough by acting on the cough centre in the brain. Menthol provides relief from throat irritation and provides a cooling sensation. Together, Planokuf Syrup 60ml provides relief from cough and allergy symptoms.
 
You are advised to use Planokuf Syrup 60ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, dry mouth, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
