CompositionKuftive Tablet is used to provide temporary relief from symptoms of the common cold, flu and allergies, such as a blocked nose, runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes and cough. It is a combination medicine containing chlorpheniramine maleate (an antihistamine), phenylephrine hydrochloride (a decongestant) and dextromethorphan hydrobromide (a cough suppressant), and belongs to a class of medicines called cold and allergy combination medicines.
This medicine works by blocking the chemical that causes allergy symptoms, narrowing swollen blood vessels in the nose to ease congestion, and calming the cough reflex in the brain. It is also used to ease the discomfort of hay fever and other upper respiratory tract infections. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Resting, drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding smoke, dust and other known triggers can help ease cold and allergy symptoms alongside this treatment.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have high blood pressure, heart disease, glaucoma, an enlarged prostate, a persistent cough with a lot of phlegm, or if you are taking other medicines, especially antidepressants. It may cause drowsiness, so avoid driving and alcohol, and do not use it with other cough and cold products containing the same ingredients.
