Kuffdryl Syrup may result in the following side effects:

Drowsiness
Dizziness
Headache
Blurred Vision
Dry mouth, nose, and throat
Nausea and vomiting: This could mean that you feel like throwing up or actually do.
Constipation: This refers to difficulty in passing stool or having fewer bowel movements than usual.
Difficulty urinating: This could mean you have trouble starting a urine stream or completely emptying your bladder.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Kuffdryl Syrup. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Constipation: Drink plenty of water when taking this medicine to help prevent constipation.

Kuffdryl Syrup contains three active ingredients which work together to manage symptoms of cough and cold:

Diphenhydramine (14.08 mg): Acting as an antihistamine, diphenhydramine blocks the action of histamine, a chemical released by your body during an allergic reaction. This helps reduce symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, itching, and sneezing. It also has a mild sedative effect that may assist in suppressing cough.
Ammonium Chloride (138 mg): This component functions as an expectorant. It helps loosen and thin mucus in your airways, making it easier for you to cough it out. By doing so, it increases the volume and reduces the viscosity of bronchial secretions.
Sodium Citrate (57.03 mg): Another expectorant in Kuffdryl Syrup is sodium citrate. It aids in loosening phlegm and thinning bronchial secretions to rid the bronchial passageways of bothersome mucus, making coughs more productive.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Kuffdryl Syrup if you are pregnant. It's best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Diphenhydramine, one of the ingredients in Kuffdryl Syrup, is secreted in breast milk. Therefore, it's important to exercise caution and consult your doctor when considering this medicine if you are a nursing mother.

Alcohol

Alcohol may increase the sedative effects of diphenhydramine in Kuffdryl Syrup. It's advisable to limit alcohol consumption when taking this medicine.

Liver

If you have liver health issues, it's recommended to discuss this with your doctor before starting Kuffdryl Syrup.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney problems, talk to your doctor before starting on Kuffdryl Syrup.

Using Machines & Driving

Kuffdryl Syrup may cause drowsiness. If you feel dizzy or sleepy after taking this medicine, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the syrup affects you.

Allergy

If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Kuffdryl Syrup, such as ammonium chloride, diphenhydramine, or sodium citrate, do not take it.

Children

Kuffdryl Syrup should not be used in children under 2 years of age without consulting a doctor. For children over 2 years, always follow the recommended dosage.

Older Patients

Older patients may be more prone to side effects from Kuffdryl Syrup. It's advisable for older patients to take this medicine under medical supervision. It's also important to discuss any existing liver or kidney issues with the doctor before starting on this medicine.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Kuffdryl Syrup interacts with the following medicines:

Anticholinergic medicines: When taken with Kuffdryl Syrup, anticholinergic medicines like atropine or tricyclic antidepressants may increase the risk of side effects such as dry mouth and urinary retention.
Phenytoin: This epilepsy medication may interact with Kuffdryl Syrup, potentially leading to altered medicine effects or increased risk of side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no specific food items that are known to interact with Kuffdryl Syrup.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Kuffdryl Syrup interacts with the following diseases:

Asthma: People suffering from asthma should use this syrup cautiously, as it may thicken the secretions in their lungs, making it harder for them to breathe.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): This condition might be exacerbated by the administration of Kuffdryl Syrup due to its potential to increase mucus viscosity.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Kuffdryl Syrup should be taken as per your doctor's prescription. Your dosage may vary based on factors like the severity of your condition and your response to the medicine. Remember, it's crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and never exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Should you accidentally take more Kuffdryl Syrup than recommended, you might experience severe drowsiness and confusion as these are the usual signs of an overdose. If these symptoms persist, it's important to inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Kuffdryl Syrup, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never double up on doses without consulting your doctor.

Store Kuffdryl Syrup at a temperature below 25°C.
Keep the syrup in its original container and ensure it's tightly closed to avoid exposure to air or moisture.
Do not expose the syrup to direct light.

For those managing cold, flu, or respiratory infections with Kuffdryl Syrup, drinking plenty of warm fluids like soups and herbal infusions can help loosen mucus.
If you're coping with allergies, maintaining a clean environment can help reduce allergen exposure. Regular dusting and cleaning of your living spaces can keep allergies at bay. Avoid exposure to known allergens whenever possible.
