Frequently asked questions

What is Mactuss CF Syrup used for?

Mactuss CF Syrup is used to treat the common cold, flu, and allergies. It provides relief from a wide range of symptoms, including fever, headache, body aches, stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, and a productive cough.

Will Mactuss CF Syrup make me drowsy?

Yes, one of the main ingredients in Mactuss CF Syrup, chlorpheniramine maleate, is an antihistamine that can cause significant drowsiness and sleepiness. Because of this, it is often best to take this medicine when you are able to rest. You should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after taking it.

Can I use Mactuss CF Syrup for a dry, hacking cough?

While this syrup contains an antihistamine that can help reduce the urge to cough, it is specifically formulated for a productive, chesty cough. The bromhexine in the formula is designed to help clear mucus from your lungs. If you have a dry cough without any phlegm, a different type of cough medicine (a cough suppressant) may be more appropriate.

What should I tell my doctor before I start taking Mactuss CF Syrup?

Before taking Mactuss CF Syrup, you should inform your doctor if you have a history of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, glaucoma, or an enlarged prostate. The phenylephrine in this medicine can sometimes make these conditions worse, so your doctor will need to determine if it is safe for you.

I have been told to drink more water with Mactuss CF Syrup. Why is that?

Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, is very important when you have a chesty cough. The extra fluid helps the mucus‑thinning ingredient, bromhexine, work more effectively by thinning out the mucus, which makes it much easier for you to clear from your chest and airways.

How long can I take Mactuss CF Syrup for?

Mactuss CF Syrup is intended for short‑term relief of symptoms. You should not take it for more than a few days. If your cough and other symptoms persist, get worse, or are accompanied by a high fever, you should stop taking the medicine and consult your doctor.
