Coughsed Child 12 Supp

Coughsed Child 12 Supp

Description:

Coughsed Child 12 Supp is a pediatric rectal suppository medicine formulated to relieve cough and associated discomfort in children. It combines the analgesic and antipyretic effect of paracetamol (acetaminophen) with plant-based antitussive and expectorant extracts (gelsemium extract, grindelia extract, and niaouli essence) to help soothe dry and productive cough, reduce throat irritation, and ease fever and pain that may accompany respiratory infections. Developed by ELERTE-FRANCE, this product is designed specifically for children, offering an alternative route of administration when oral medicines are difficult to use, such as during vomiting, refusal to swallow, or nighttime dosing.

Indications:

• Symptomatic relief of cough in children, including dry (irritative) and productive cough.
• Helps as an antitussive to reduce the frequency and intensity of coughing episodes.
• Expectorant support to facilitate mucus clearance from the airways.
• Relief of mild to moderate pain associated with respiratory infections (e.g., sore throat, headache, body aches).
• Reduction of fever that may accompany colds, flu, or upper respiratory tract infections in children.

• If cough persists for more than a few days, is accompanied by high fever, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or thick green/yellow sputum, seek medical advice promptly.
• Consult your doctor before use if the child is taking other medications (such as anticoagulants like warfarin, other pain relievers, or cold and flu combinations) or has medical conditions including liver disease, kidney disease, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, or chronic respiratory disease (e.g., asthma).

• Systemic side effects from paracetamol are rare at recommended doses but may include allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing; stop use and seek medical attention if these occur.
• Serious but rare reactions may include liver dysfunction, especially in overdose or prolonged high-dose use. Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, or jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes). Seek urgent medical help if these appear.
