Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to relieve cough accompanied by cold symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Additionally, Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml also helps in providing relief from allergies. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby helps in preventing respiratory infection.
Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml contains Ammonium chloride (expectorant) and Diphenhydramine (antihistamine). Ammonium chloride helps in loosening the congestion in the chest and throat, thereby making it easier to cough out phlegm through the mouth. Diphenhydramine works by blocking the action of a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Together, Kuffdryl Syrup 60 ml provides relief from cough.
