What is Cophene-S Used For? This combination medication is used to treat dry cough and nasal congestion caused by the common cold, flu, or other respiratory illness as determined by your doctor. An expectorant loosens mucus in the lungs, while the decongestant works to relieve nasal congestion. A low dose of narcotic cough suppressant works directly on the brain to decrease the urge to cough.
How To Use Cophene-S
Use Cophene-S exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because Cophene-S can be habit-forming. If using Cophene-S for an extended period of time, do not suddenly stop using Cophene-S without consulting your doctor. Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, drink plenty of fluids when you use Cophene-S. The fluid will help loosen phlegm/mucous in your breathing passages. If your condition persists or worsens, be sure to contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these serious side effects occur: chest pain, rapid or pounding heartbeat, painful or difficult urination, tremors, mental/mood changes, slow or difficult breathing, seizure. An allergic reaction to Cophene-S is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
