Dr. Meyer’s Coflin Linctus Syrup 100ml

Dr. Meyer’s Coflin Linctus Syrup 100ml Dr. Meyer’s Coflin Linctus is a trusted oral cough medicine manufactured in Nigeria by Vitabiotics. It is specifically formulated to provide relief from the symptoms of chesty coughs, nasal congestion, and throat irritation associated with the common cold or respiratory tract infections. What are the uses of Coflin Linctus? Coflin Linctus is a combination medication that acts as an expectorant, decongestant, and antihistamine. It is primarily used for:

Relief of productive (chesty) coughs by thinning and loosening mucus. Clearing nasal congestion and a stuffy nose. Reducing allergic symptoms such as runny nose and watery eyes. Soothing throat irritation.

How does it work? The effective formula contains five active ingredients:

Ammonium Chloride: An expectorant that helps loosen phlegm, making it easier to cough up. Ephedrine HCl: A decongestant that shrinks swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages to improve breathing. Chlorpheniramine Maleate: An antihistamine that reduces allergy symptoms. Sodium Citrate: A mucolytic agent that helps break down mucus. Menthol: Provides a cooling sensation to soothe an irritated throat.

Dosage and Administration Coflin Linctus should be taken orally, usually three times daily.

Adults: 10ml three times daily. Children (6–12 years): 5ml three times daily. Children (2–5 years): 2.5ml three times daily. Not recommended for children under 2 years of age without medical advice.

Coflin Linctus vs Coflin Expectorant Many users ask about the difference between these two. While both are used for coughs, Dr. Meyer’s Coflin Linctus contains Ephedrine and Chlorpheniramine to target congestion and allergies alongside a chesty cough. The "Expectorant" variant typically uses Diphenhydramine. Always check the label or consult a Meddylab pharmacist to ensure you are choosing the right formulation for your symptoms. Precautions and Side Effects Due to the presence of Chlorpheniramine, this syrup may cause drowsiness. It is advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery after taking it. Other common side effects may include dizziness, dry mouth, or nervousness.
