Medical 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.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Cof Q tablet works by the combined action of all its components - paracetamol, chlorpheniramine, phenylephrine, bromhexine, and guaifenesin.
- Paracetamol belongs to the class of medicines called analgesics and antipyretics. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the release of certain chemicals called prostaglandins responsible for pain and increased body temperature in the body.
- Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of medicines called antihistamines. It controls the symptoms of allergy or cold-like itchiness, runny nose, and sneezing by blocking the release of certain chemicals called histamines within the body.
- Phenylephrine is a vasoconstrictor. It shrinks or constricts the blood vessels in the nasal passage and improves nose blockage.
- Guaifenesin belongs to the class of medicines called expectorants. It works by thinning the phlegm/mucus in the throat thus relieving symptoms of cough. Bromhexine belongs to the class of medicines called mucolytics. It works by reducing the thickness of mucous and enabling it to be expulsed out by cough.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Some medicines may alter the way Cof Q tablet works or the medicine can itself reduce the effectiveness of other medicine.

- Particular care should be taken if you are taking medicines to treat blood clots, other painkiller medications, water pills, medicines used to treat high blood pressure, antidiabetics, heart-related medicine, and anti-sickness medicines like metoclopramide or domperidone.
