Dosage of Cofex

• Adults and Children over 12 years: Usually 5ml to 10ml (1 to 2 teaspoonfuls) every 4 to 6 hours.
• Children 6 to 12 years: 2.5ml to 5ml (½ to 1 teaspoonful) every 6 hours.
• Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 4 doses in a 24-hour period.
• Note: Not recommended for children under 6 years unless specifically directed by a pediatrician.

Proper Administration

• Measurement: Always use the measuring cup or spoon provided with the bottle to ensure an accurate dose. Do not use a standard kitchen spoon.
• Method: Take the syrup undiluted. For a soothing effect on the throat, avoid drinking water immediately after taking the dose.
• Timing: If the cough interferes with sleep, take the final dose of the day about 30 minutes before bedtime.

How to Store and Dispose of Cofex

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to maintain the syrup's integrity.
• Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return any expired or unused syrup to your local pharmacy for safe disposal.

Quick Tips for Cofex

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. While Cofex suppresses the cough, hydration helps thin any existing mucus.
• Honey and Lemon: You can supplement Cofex with warm honey and lemon water for additional throat-soothing benefits.
• Monitor Symptoms: If a cough persists for more than 7 days, or is accompanied by a high fever or rash, consult a doctor.

Safety and Precautions

Contraindications and Restrictions

• MAOIs: Do NOT use if you have taken a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (antidepressant) in the last 14 days.
• Asthma/COPD: Use with caution if you have chronic respiratory conditions; cough suppressants are generally avoided if the cough is "productive" (bringing up a lot of mucus).
• Narrow-Angle Glaucoma: Antihistamines may increase intraocular pressure.
