Uses of Cadiphylate Elixir

Benefits of Cadiphylate Elixir

In Treatment of Cough

Cadiphylate Elixir gives relief from cough by loosening thick mucus and making it easier to cough it out. It also makes it easier for air to move in and out of your airways. This reduces the frequency of coughing. This medicine usually starts to work within a few minutes and the effects can last up to several hours. Take it in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by the doctor. Along with medications, drink enough lukewarm water and gargle with warm salt water to ease the symptoms.

Side effects of Cadiphylate Elixir

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Cadiphylate Elixir

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Cadiphylate Elixir may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Cadiphylate Elixir works

Cadiphylate Elixir is a combination of three medicines: Piperazine, Ephedrine and Guaifenesin. Piperazine is a bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widens the airways. Ephedrine is a sympathomimetic agonist which works on the blood vessels and increases the blood flow to heart and lungs. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which works by decreasing the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways.
