Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhoea
Stomach pain
Headache
Dizziness
Rash or itching

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Kofarest Syrup 100ml. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips on managing two common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Kofarest Syrup 100ml with meals to lessen this effect.
Diarrhoea: Consider taking this medicine just before bedtime.

Kofarest Syrup 100ml incorporates three active ingredients:

Ambroxol (30 mg): This is a mucolytic agent that reduces the thickness of mucus in the respiratory tract. It works by breaking down substances called mucopolysaccharides, which makes mucus easier to clear out.
Guaifenesin (100 mg): This expectorant assists in removing mucus from your airways. It boosts the volume and lowers the stickiness of bronchial secretions, making it easier for you to cough up mucus.
Terbutaline (2.5 mg): As part of the beta2 adrenergic agonist class of medicines, terbutaline works by relaxing smooth muscles in your airways, widening these passages and making it easier for you to breathe.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Kofarest Syrup 100ml if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, be sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting Kofarest Syrup 100ml.
