Brofex Syrup

Brofex Syrup contains an anti-tussive (relieve cough) medication primarily used to treat dry cough. Cough is a reflex action that helps to clear any foreign irritant or mucus in the throat. Mostly cough lasts for a short time (two to three weeks), so it is acute. But sometimes, if it is persistent for more than eight weeks it can lead to chronic cough. Dry cough refers to a cough where there is no mucus or secretion along with cough.

Brofex Syrup contains Dextromethorphan, which is a cough suppressant. It works by blocking the cough receptor present in the brain, which is known to cause cough. Brofex Syrup is generally prescribed for short-term treatment of dry cough. It does not treat chronic cough or cough caused due to smoking, emphysema, and asthma.

Take Brofex Syrup as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Brofex Syrup based on your medical condition. The most common side effects of Brofex Syrup are dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, confusion, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Brofex Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Brofex Syrup if you are allergic to Brofex Syrup or Dextromethorphan. Increase the intake of fluids so that the mucus present loosens and the throat remains lubricated. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before starting Brofex Syrup . Also, mention all the OTC medicines you are talking to your doctor about before taking Brofex Syrup . Brofex Syrup should not be stopped abruptly as it might lead to withdrawal symptoms like irritability, anxiety, diarrhoea, restlessness, and increased blood pressure.
