Cofsils

Cofsils is a prominent consumer healthcare brand developed by Cipla Health, specializing in over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for sore throat and cough. The brand's most recognized product is the Cofsils Lozenge, which typically contains a combination of two antiseptic agents: 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol and amylmetacresol. These components provide rapid relief by targeting bacteria and viruses in the oral cavity and throat, while also exerting a mild local anesthetic effect. Beyond lozenges, the Cofsils portfolio includes specialized cough syrups such as Cofsils DX (containing dextromethorphan and chlorpheniramine for dry cough) and Cofsils Wet Cough (containing expectorants and bronchodilators), as well as Cofsils Gargle (povidone-iodine) and Cofsils Naturals (herbal ingredients). It is widely distributed in the Indian market for the symptomatic management of upper respiratory tract infections.
