What is Alkof SF Syrup used for? ::: Alkof SF Syrup is used to treat a productive cough (cough with mucus), chest congestion, and allergy-like symptoms. It provides relief from a stuffy chest, soothes throat irritation, and helps suppress the cough reflex.\u003cbr>| Will Alkof SF Syrup make me drowsy? ::: Yes. One of the main ingredients in Alkof SF Syrup, diphenhydramine, is an antihistamine well known for causing significant drowsiness and sleepiness. Because of this, it is often best to take this medicine at night, or when you are able to rest. You should avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after taking it.\u003cbr>| How quickly will Alkof SF Syrup start to work on my cough? ::: You should start to feel some relief from throat irritation and a reduction in your cough reflex within about 30 to 60 minutes of taking Alkof SF Syrup.

If you have a dry cough without mucus, a different type of cough medicine (a cough suppressant) may be more appropriate.\u003cbr>| I have been told to drink more water with my cough during Alkof SF Syrup treatment. Why is that? ::: Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, is very important when you have a productive cough.
