Benefits
Cough is a sudden, forceful expulsion of air that helps clear any mucus or irritant in the throat or airways. If it happens more frequently, due to an underlying disease or an allergy, it can be bothersome. Cofsils Cough Syrup helps to loosen thick mucus and reduces its stickiness, making it easier to cough out. This makes it easier for air to move in and out. It will also relieve allergy symptoms like watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose or throat irritation and help you carry out your daily activities more easily. Taking this medicine enables you to live your life more freely without worrying so much about things that set off your symptoms.
How to use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Cofsils Cough Syrup may be taken with or without food.

Cofsils Cough Syrup is a combination of three medicines: diphenhydramine, ammonium chloride, and sodium citrate. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that relieves allergy symptoms such as a runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that helps loosen mucus (phlegm) and make it easier to remove from the airways. Sodium citrate helps thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out.
