About Lorfen AM Syrup

Lorfen AM Syrup is used to treat allergic symptoms (like sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose, itchy nose/throat), common cold symptoms, and cough. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens.’ It is also used to induce sleep, treat Parkinson's disease, and relieve cough caused by minor throat or airway irritation.

Lorfen AM Syrup is a combination drug containing three medicines: Loratadine, ambroxol, and guaifenesin. Loratadine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It directly acts on the brain and relieves symptoms of allergies by preventing the release of histamine. It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that work by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Guaifenesin belongs to the class of expectorants that increase the volume of fluid in the airways, reduce the stickiness of mucus, and remove it from the airways.

Take Lorfen AM Syrup as suggested. The doctor will adjust the dose you are given according to your condition and response to the medicine. In some cases, you may experience nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, headache, allergic reaction, and sleepiness.
