How Planokuf T Syrup works

This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Codeine and Triprolidine. Codeine loosens and thins the mucus in your airways so a cough clears it more easily, and eases the tightness that comes with congestion. Triprolidine blocks the chemical messengers your body releases during an allergic reaction, which relieves sneezing, a running nose, watering eyes and itching.

How to take Planokuf T Syrup

For oral use only. Shake well before use. Measure the dose with a calibrated cup/spoon and take as directed by a doctor. Can be taken with or without food unless advised otherwise.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can dangerously slow or stop breathing — this is a medical emergency. It can cause severe drowsiness, a fast heartbeat, confusion and, in children, agitation and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Expert advice for Planokuf T Syrup

Drink plenty of water — it thins mucus better than any syrup. Steam inhalation helps congestion and costs nothing. Measure the dose with the cup supplied. Taking it at bedtime reduces the impact of any drowsiness. Identify and avoid your triggers where you can — dust, pollen, cold air.
