The Himalaya Drug Company Introduces Koflet-EX: An Effective Formulation for the Management of Productive Cough

Mumbai, March 19, 2019: The Himalaya Drug Company, India’s leading homegrown wellness brand, launches “Koflet-EX”—an effective formulation for symptomatic relief from productive cough associated with respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, asthma, and other similar conditions. Koflet-EX is a sugar-free formula that can be consumed by adults and children.

Productive or wet cough is a concern caused due to various reasons, including bacterial and viral infections and allergy, which build up mucus in the respiratory system, leading to congestion and difficulty in breathing. If ignored, productive or wet cough leads to further complications, which could adversely affect one’s health.

 “Our dedicated in-house team of scientists strives to develop effective medicinal solutions catering to specific health problems. Being a leader in herbal medicine, we now add Koflet-EX, a safe and effective formulation, to our range of products. Koflet-EX has been developed by harnessing the power of scientifically tested herbs extracted through a full-spectrum technology. This preserves the natural ratios of active constituents, ensuring an overall therapeutic effect on the patient,” says Mr. Suresh TL, Business Director—Pharmaceuticals, The Himalaya Drug Company.

Koflet-EX is a phytopharmaceutical expectorant formulation that is an effective solution to reduce the thickness of bronchial secretions, chest congestion, and bronchial inflammation, and it enhances the windpipe’s muscle dilation to make breathing easier. Koflet-EX is enriched with the power of 5 scientifically proven and well-researched herbs that are used as active constituents in the formula. The herbs—Yashtimadhu, Biranjasipha, Vasaka, Peppermint satva, and Sunthi—help relax the windpipe and airway muscles and reduce inflammation. These ingredients together also reduce the thickness of respiratory secretions and facilitate easy expulsion of the built-up secretions.

“It is established scientifically that dry cough and wet/productive cough require different treatments. In case of productive cough, the stagnant mucus leads to multiple complications, which requires an effective expectorant that aids in mucus expulsion. An effective expectorant should facilitate mucus expulsion by thinning the bronchial secretions and relaxing the windpipe. Selecting an effective and safe expectorant that does not lead to any unpleasant experience is quite challenging. An herbal expectorant is the best choice as it helps in reducing bronchial inflammation and relieves bronchial congestion without any lethargic aftereffects,” says Dr. Rajesh Kumawat, Head—Medical Services and Clinical Development, The Himalaya Drug Company.

Addressing the typical challenges of using conventional cough preparations, Koflet-EX does not cause drowsiness, constipation, tremors, or dryness of mouth and throat. This sugar-free formula is scientifically researched and tested.

Koflet-EX is available at all leading chemist outlets across India.
