Overview Benacof Tablet

Cofben tablets offer symptomatic relief from the common cold. They temporarily alleviate nasal congestion and address allergic symptoms such as rhinorrhea and ocular pruritus. Dosage and treatment duration for Cofben tablets should strictly follow your physician's instructions, depending on individual response and condition severity. Complete the prescribed course; premature cessation may lead to symptom recurrence and potential worsening. Inform your doctor of all concurrent medications, as interactions are possible. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, emesis, xerostomia, sleep disturbances, agitation, lassitude, and cephalalgia. Most side effects are transient. Report any concerning side effects immediately to your doctor. Drowsiness and vertigo are possible; avoid driving or activities requiring alertness until the effects are known. Alcohol consumption should be avoided due to potential exacerbation of dizziness. Prior to initiating treatment, disclose any hepatic or renal impairment to enable appropriate dosage adjustment. Also, inform your doctor of pregnancy, pregnancy intentions, or breastfeeding. **Important:** Cofben tablets are contraindicated for children under 12 years of age (Ministry of Health and Family Welfare advisory).
