Q) How does KUFFDRYL SYRUP work?
A) KUFFDRYL SYRUP is a combination of three drugs: Ammonium chloride (expectorant), Diphenhydramine (antihistamine) and Sodium citrate (mucolytic). Ammonium chloride works by reducing the stickiness of mucus thereby, clears congestion by removal of mucus from the airways. Diphenhydramine works by blocking a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for sneezing, runny nose and watery eyes. Sodium citrate works by stimulating fluid secretion in the respiratory tract and breaking down mucus. Thereby, helps in thinning phlegm to cough out easily.
Q) Is KUFFDRYL SYRUP safe for patients with glaucoma?
A) No, KUFFDRYL SYRUP is not recommended for patients with glaucoma (high pressure in the eye) as it may increase the intraocular pressure (fluid pressure inside the eye) and increase the risk of vision problems such as blurred vision and dry eyes especially in elderly people and patients using contact lenses. Therefore, it is recommended to inform your doctor if you have glaucoma before taking KUFFDRYL SYRUP.
Q) Is KUFFDRYL SYRUP safe for patients suffering from depression?
A) No, KUFFDRYL SYRUP is not recommended for patients suffering from depression as it may worsen the condition. Therefore, if you have depression or any other mood disorders, it is recommended to inform your doctor before taking KUFFDRYL SYRUP.

Q) Can I stop taking KUFFDRYL SYRUP on my own?
A) No, you are not recommended to stop taking KUFFDRYL SYRUP on your own even if you find symptomatic relief as discontinuing KUFFDRYL SYRUP suddenly may worsen the condition or cause recurring symptoms. However, please consult a doctor if you experience any discomfort while taking KUFFDRYL SYRUP.
