Kufnil-DX Syrup

Kufnil-DX Syrup is a combination medicine prescribed for non-productive cough, commonly called dry cough - this type of cough is characterised by the absence of mucus or phlegm during coughing. It contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide, which treats dry cough; chlorpheniramine maleate, which lowers allergic reactions; and phenylephrine, which reduces nasal congestion. This medication is recommended for dry cough associated with the common cold, hay fever/rhinitis, seasonal allergies and flu.

Kufnil-DX Syrup should be taken as advised by your doctor. You may take this syrup before or after food. Your healthcare provider will adjust your doses depending on the severity of your symptoms. Take it for the exact duration as per your prescription, and do not self-medicate.

Kufnil-DX Syrup is used to treat non-productive cough, commonly referred to as dry cough, which is defined as a cough not accompanied by the expectoration of mucus/phlegm. It is often prescribed for dry cough associated with the common cold, hay fever/rhinitis, seasonal allergies and flu.

Kufnil-DX Syrup contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide, chlorpheniramine maleate and phenylephrine. Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a centrally acting cough suppressant (antitussive drug) that treats dry cough. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine (a sedating H1-receptor antagonist) that relieves allergy symptoms. Phenylephrine is a direct-acting adrenergic agonist, and it helps by constricting the blood vessels in your nose to reduce signs of nasal congestion, like a stuffy nose.

Kufnil-DX Syrup provides relief from dry cough, nasal congestion and allergic symptoms associated with various respiratory infections.

It contains dextromethorphan hydrobromide, which treats dry cough; chlorpheniramine maleate, which lowers allergic reactions; and phenylephrine, which reduces nasal congestion.

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide is a cough suppressant (antitussive drug) that works by centrally acting on the part of the central nervous system that causes coughing.

Phenylephrine is a synthetic direct-acting adrenergic agonist. It reduces nasal congestion by acting on adrenergic receptors that affect the contraction of blood vessels.

Chlorpheniramine maleate is an H1-receptor antagonist. It is an antihistamine which works against histamines, a chemical substance responsible for most allergic responses, such as coughing, sneezing and runny nose.
