Cough & Cold Range | Expectorant | Mucolytic | Bronchodilator | Paediatric + G.P.

Uses of Cufstep-GT

Cufstep-GT may be prescribed by a healthcare professional for selected respiratory symptoms, such as:

• Cough associated with mucus.
• Chest congestion where an expectorant or mucolytic is considered appropriate.
• Respiratory conditions involving airway narrowing, when a bronchodilator is indicated.

The suitability of this combination depends on the patient’s diagnosis, age and medical history. It is not appropriate for every type of cough, particularly a dry cough without mucus, unless a physician recommends it.

How Does Cufstep-GT Work?

The ingredients have different roles:

• Ambroxol Hydrochloride: Helps thin respiratory mucus, making it easier to clear.
• Terbutaline Sulphate: A bronchodilator that relaxes airway muscles and helps open the airways.
• Guaiphenesin: An expectorant that helps loosen mucus and support its clearance.
• Menthol: Provides a cooling sensation and may help soothe throat discomfort.

Possible Side Effects

Possible side effects may include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, dizziness, tremor, headache or a faster heartbeat. Terbutaline may cause palpitations or changes in heart rate, particularly in susceptible patients.

Seek medical advice if side effects persist or worsen. Obtain urgent medical care for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, fainting or a markedly irregular heartbeat.

Important Safety Information

• Use Cufstep-GT only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.
• For children, use only after a physician confirms that the product and dose are appropriate for the child’s age and condition.
• Tell the physician about heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, diabetes, seizure disorders or other ongoing medical conditions.
• Inform the physician about other medicines, particularly other bronchodilators or medicines that may affect heart rate.
• Do not combine it with other cough-and-cold products without checking their ingredients to avoid duplication.
• Seek medical assessment if cough persists, worsens, or is accompanied by high fever, wheezing or difficulty breathing.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
