About Lorfast AM Syrup

Lorfast AM Syrup belongs to a class of cough and cold preparations primarily used to treat allergic symptoms (like sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy nose/throat), common cold symptoms, and cough. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ It is also used to induce sleep, treat Parkinson's disease, and relieve cough caused by minor throat or airway irritation.

Lorfast AM Syrup is a combination drug containing three medicines: Loratadine, ambroxol, and guaifenesin. Loratadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It directly acts on the brain and relieves symptoms of allergies by preventing the release of histamine. It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways.

Take Lorfast AM Syrup as suggested. The doctor will adjust the dose you are given according to your condition and response to the medicine. In some cases, you may experience nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, headache, allergic reaction, and sleepiness. Most of these side effects of Lorfast AM Syrup do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Consume only if the doctor prescribes it. Never encourage self-medication or suggest your medicine to someone else. Inform your doctor, before taking Lorfast AM Syrup , if you have severe liver or kidney problems, peptic or duodenal ulcers. Increase the intake of fluids so that mucus is loosened. Before using Lorfast AM Syrup , ask doctor if you are taking alcohol, sedatives or tranquilizers as using Lorfast AM Syrup with recreational drugs might induce drowsiness. It is advisable not to drive any motor vehicle or operate heavy machinery as increased drowsiness and dizziness can occur after taking Lorfast AM Syrup . If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, ask a doctor before its use. Speak to your doctor if your symptoms do not go away after taking Lorfast AM Syrup for 5 days. Before using Lorfast AM Syrup , speak to your doctor if you are breastfeeding a baby or if you are pregnant.
