About Blukof Syrup 100 ml

Blukof Syrup 100 ml is a combination medication used to treat productive cough associated with bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes), and emphysema (shortness of breath). Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.

Blukof Syrup 100 ml consists of Ambroxol hydrochloride, Terbutaline sulphate, Guaiphenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that makes sputum less viscous, making it easier to cough out. Terbutaline sulphate is a bronchodilator that works by widening and relaxing the airways of the lungs. Guaiphenesin is an expectorant which reduces the thickness/viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Menthol relieves throat irritation.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your condition. In some cases, Blukof Syrup 100 ml may cause common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, sweating, muscle cramps, dizziness, and headache. These side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Blukof Syrup 100 ml or any other medication. Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, stomach ulcers, seizures (fits), high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, and difficulty breathing before taking Blukof Syrup 100 ml. Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol while taking Blukof Syrup 100 ml, since it can worsen side effects like dizziness and sleepiness.
