Ducof B Syrup is a combination medication which promotes the secretion of sputum (phlegm) by the airways (bronchi), used to treat coughs. It treats respiratory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) like bronchitis (inflammation of bronchial tubes), emphysema (shortness of breath), and upper respiratory tract infections. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease caused by the obstructed airflow in the lungs. An upper respiratory tract infection is a contagious infection caused by a bacteria or virus infecting the nose, throat, pharynx, larynx, and bronchi.

Ducof B Syrup consists of Ambroxol, Terbutaline, Guaifenesin, and Menthol. Ambroxol is an 'expectorant' that promotes the secretion of sputum/cough. It is also a 'mucolytic agent' that makes sputum less viscous and makes breathing easier. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator and works by widening and relaxing the airways (bronchi) of the lungs. Guaifenesin is also an 'expectorant'. It reduces the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. Menthol is an organic flavour additive which produces a sensation of coolness and relieves throat irritation.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the course based on the severity of your medical condition. Like every other medication, Ducof B Syrup also has common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, sweating and muscle cramps, dizziness, headache, rash, tremor (shakiness), palpitations (uneven heartbeat), and increased heart rate. These side effects, if occurred, generally go away during the treatment. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Ducof B Syrup or any other medication. It is mandatory to inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, kidney diseases, stomach ulcers, seizures (fits), high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, inflammation of air passages, lung disorders, and difficulty breathing before taking Ducof B Syrup . Check with your doctor if you plan to conceive, are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol while taking Ducof B Syrup , since it can worsen the dizziness and sleepiness.
