Description
Cof Q tablet is a medicine commonly used to relieve symptoms of the common cold and related issues, such as a wet cough, fever, headache, sneezing, and a runny nose. It works by combining several active ingredients: paracetamol for fever and pain, chlorpheniramine to reduce allergies, phenylephrine to ease nasal congestion, bromhexine to loosen mucus, and guaifenesin to help clear the chest.
This medicine can help alleviate symptoms when you're sick with a cold, but it may also cause some side effects. Some people may experience dizziness or drowsiness after taking it. Others might experience nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort. These side effects are usually mild, but if they worsen or persist, it’s essential to consult your doctor.
Cof Q tablets are not suitable for children under 12 years of age. Also, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, do not use this medicine without first consulting your doctor. Your healthcare provider will decide if this medicine is safe for you and your baby.
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor tells you. Do not change the dose or stop taking it without consulting your healthcare provider. Using it more than prescribed or for longer than needed can lead to unwanted side effects or may not help your symptoms improve.
Before starting Cof Q tablets, be sure to inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including any ongoing health issues or medications you are currently taking. This helps your doctor decide if this medicine is safe and right for you. Taking the right precautions ensures the medicine works well and keeps you safe.
