Frequently asked questions

What is Koughstop D syrup used for?

Koughstop D is prescribed for a dry, non-productive cough that comes with a blocked nose, sneezing and a runny nose — typically during a cold or upper respiratory allergy. It is not meant for a wet, chesty cough where bringing up phlegm is helpful. Use it as directed by your physician.

What bottle sizes does Koughstop D come in?

Koughstop D is supplied in two bottle volumes, 100 ml and 60 ml. The formula is identical in both; only the volume differs. Which size your chemist or distributor stocks may vary.

Does Koughstop D cause drowsiness?

Yes, it can. Chlorpheniramine maleate is a first-generation antihistamine and commonly causes drowsiness. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how the syrup affects you, and avoid alcohol while taking it.
