Uses of MEXACOF-AM

MEXACOF-AM may be used as part of supportive respiratory treatment when prescribed or recommended by a healthcare professional. Its ingredients can help address mucus, cough-related respiratory discomfort and associated allergic symptoms.

The product may be considered for:

  • Productive cough associated with excessive or thick mucus.
  • Respiratory conditions involving mucus congestion.
  • Bronchitic conditions where mucus clearance is required.
  • Allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose and nasal irritation associated with respiratory complaints.
  • Respiratory tract infections where symptomatic treatment is appropriate.
  • Bronchial asthma or COPD exacerbations only when specifically directed by a healthcare professional and as part of appropriate disease management.

Guaifenesin is an expectorant that helps loosen mucus and thin bronchial secretions, making coughs more productive. Levocetirizine is an H1-antihistamine indicated for allergic rhinitis and chronic idiopathic urticaria in its approved oral-solution formulations.

Note: MEXACOF-AM should not be considered a substitute for disease-specific treatment of asthma, COPD or serious respiratory infections.

How MEXACOF-AM Works

MEXACOF-AM combines ingredients that act through different mechanisms.

Ambroxol Hydrochloride is a mucolytic agent that helps reduce the viscosity of respiratory mucus, supporting easier mucus clearance.

Guaiphenesin acts as an expectorant. It helps loosen phlegm and thin bronchial secretions so that mucus can be cleared more effectively through coughing.

Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride blocks histamine H1 receptors and therefore helps reduce symptoms associated with histamine release, such as sneezing, runny nose and itching.

Menthol provides a cooling, soothing sensation that can help reduce the perception of throat irritation.

Together, these ingredients provide complementary support for respiratory symptoms involving mucus, cough and allergic discomfort.

Common Side Effects of MEXACOF-AM

Possible side effects can vary according to the individual ingredients and the patient’s sensitivity. They may include:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Stomach discomfort
  • Diarrhoea
  • Headache
  • Dry mouth
  • Drowsiness or fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Throat or mouth irritation

Levocetirizine can cause somnolence, fatigue and dry mouth in some patients.

If symptoms become severe, persistent or unusual, discontinue use only as medically advised and consult a healthcare professional.

Important Safety Information

MEXACOF-AM should be used according to the product label and healthcare professional’s advice.

  • Do not exceed the recommended dose.
  • Use an appropriate measuring device to measure the syrup accurately.
  • Do not use multiple cough, cold or allergy medicines together without checking their ingredients, as this can result in accidental duplication.
  • Patients with asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis or persistent cough should consult a healthcare professional before using expectorant-based cough medicines. FDA labeling for guaifenesin specifically advises medical evaluation for persistent or chronic cough and cough associated with asthma, chronic bronchitis or emphysema.
  • Seek medical advice if cough persists for more than a week, repeatedly returns, or occurs with fever, rash, persistent headache or other concerning symptoms.
  • Levocetirizine may cause drowsiness or reduced alertness in some patients. Avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.
  • Avoid alcohol or other substances that can increase central nervous system depression when using levocetirizine.
  • Patients with kidney impairment should inform their healthcare professional because levocetirizine dosage may require adjustment.
  • Inform your doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, existing medical conditions and other medicines before use.
  • Keep the product out of reach of children.
  • Do not use the product after its expiry date.

For additional information on expectorant use and safety, healthcare professionals can refer to the FDA OTC cough and cold monograph.
