Coughsed P Inf 12 Supp

Description:

Coughsed P Inf 12 Supp (Coughsed Paracetamol Infants 12 Supp) is a pediatric rectal suppository medicine formulated specifically for infants to help relieve cough and associated discomfort. It combines herbal antitussive and expectorant extracts (gelsemium extract, grindelia extract, niaouli essence) with paracetamol (acetaminophen) to soothe dry and productive cough, ease breathing, and reduce fever or pain commonly accompanying respiratory infections in infants. Manufactured by ELERTE-FRANCE, this product offers an alternative route of administration when oral medicines are difficult to give due to vomiting, poor feeding, or refusal to swallow.

Indications:

• Symptomatic relief of cough in infants, including dry and productive cough.
• Helps loosen mucus and supports expectoration in upper respiratory tract infections.
• Relief of fever and mild to moderate pain associated with colds, flu, and respiratory infections in infants.
• Suitable when rectal administration is preferred or when oral administration is not possible (e.g., vomiting, difficulty swallowing).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Gelsemium extract – concentration not specified (antitussive, cough-soothing herbal extract).
• Grindelia extract – concentration not specified (expectorant and bronchial soothing herbal extract).
• Niaouli essence – concentration not specified (aromatic essence traditionally used to support respiratory comfort).
• Paracetamol (acetaminophen) – exact mg per suppository not specified (analgesic and antipyretic to relieve pain and reduce fever).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• This product is for rectal use only. Do not administer orally.
• Recommended dose: Follow your pediatrician’s exact dosing instructions and the dosage printed on the product packaging. The precise paracetamol dose per suppository and age/weight-based schedule are not available here and must be checked on the leaflet.
• General method of administration:
  • Wash your hands thoroughly before and after use.
  • Gently remove one suppository from its blister pack.
  • If needed, slightly moisten the suppository tip with water to ease insertion.
  • Lay the infant on their side with knees gently drawn toward the chest.
  • Carefully insert the suppository into the rectum with the pointed end first and hold the buttocks together for a few seconds to prevent expulsion.
• Frequency and duration: Use only as directed by a doctor. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose of paracetamol for the infant’s weight and age as indicated on the package insert or by your pediatrician.
• Do not use with other medicines containing paracetamol without medical advice to avoid overdose.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides targeted cough relief in infants through a combination of antitussive and expectorant herbal extracts.
• Helps loosen and clear mucus from the airways, supporting easier breathing and improved comfort.
• Reduces fever and relieves mild to moderate pain associated with colds and respiratory infections due to paracetamol.
• Rectal suppository form is useful when oral administration is difficult or poorly tolerated in infants.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For infants only. Use strictly under pediatric supervision.
• Do not use if the infant is allergic or hypersensitive to paracetamol, gelsemium extract, grindelia extract, niaouli essence, or any other component of the suppository base.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of paracetamol. Paracetamol overdose may cause serious liver damage.
• Use with caution in infants with liver disease, severe kidney impairment, or chronic malnutrition; always consult a doctor before use.
• Do not use concurrently with other paracetamol-containing medicines (syrups, drops, suppositories) unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if cough persists for more than a few days, is accompanied by high fever, breathing difficulty, wheezing, or if symptoms worsen.
• Rectal use may be inappropriate in case of rectal inflammation, recent rectal surgery, or severe diarrhea; consult a doctor first.
• Consult your doctor before use if the infant is taking other medications, or has any chronic medical conditions.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Possible side effects of paracetamol may include skin rash, allergic reactions (such as itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing), and very rarely liver function disturbances, especially in overdose.
• Local rectal irritation, mild discomfort, or a sensation of needing to pass stool may occur after insertion.
• Herbal components (gelsemium, grindelia, niaouli essence) may rarely cause hypersensitivity reactions in susceptible infants.
• Stop use and seek immediate medical attention if signs of severe allergy (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing), persistent vomiting, unusual sleepiness, yellowing of skin or eyes, or any other worrying symptoms appear.
