Koflet Syrup®

What is Koflet Syrup®?

Koflet Syrup® is an Ayurvedic herbal cough reliever formulated with a blend of well-known Ayurvedic herbs, including Tulasi (Holy Basil) and Vasaka. Beyond cough relief, this herbal preparation is also traditionally associated with immune-boosting properties.

How Koflet Syrup® Works

Effective Cough Relief: Koflet Syrup® offers benefits for both productive (wet) and dry coughs. Its mucolytic and expectorant properties work to thin bronchial mucus, making it easier to cough up. The syrup's peripheral antitussive action helps reduce irritation in the bronchial mucosa and associated bronchospasms. Additional anti-allergic, antimicrobial, and immune-modifying properties contribute to overall cough relief. Finally, the demulcent action soothes irritated respiratory passages.

Uses of Koflet Syrup®

• Cough associated with acute and chronic upper and lower respiratory tract infections
• Smoker's cough
• Cough due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Key Ingredients and Their Actions

Ayurvedic texts and modern research support the following:

Honey (Madhu)

Traditionally used for cough relief, honey possesses anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the respiratory tract. Its ability to inhibit nitric oxide production contributes to its antioxidant effects, potentially beneficial in alleviating allergic respiratory conditions.

Holy Basil (Tulasi)

Holy Basil boasts potent antihistamine properties, offering protection against pollen-induced bronchospasms. Its diverse pharmacological actions make it a valuable herb in treating catarrh (inflammation of the respiratory tract mucous membranes) and bronchitis.

Licorice (Yashtimadhu)

Licorice exhibits antitussive, expectorant, and immune-enhancing properties, contributing to effective cough relief.

Dosage and Administration

It is crucial to consult a physician to determine the appropriate dosage based on individual needs and health conditions.

Potential Side Effects

When taken as directed, Koflet Syrup® is generally not known to cause side effects.
