Pharmacology
Cosy 60ml is a medication that works by blocking certain receptors in the stomach and brain. This helps improve stomach movement, speeds up digestion, and reduces nausea.

Interaction
Cosy 60ml should not be taken with certain antacids or anticholinergic drugs, as they reduce its effect. Cosy 60ml is processed in the body by a specific enzyme, so taking other medications that affect this enzyme may increase its level. Cosy 60ml can also influence the absorption of other oral medications, especially those with slow-release or special coatings.
Contraindications
Cosy 60ml should not be used by people who are allergic to Cosy 60ml or by newborns. Cosy 60ml should not be used in certain gastrointestinal problems, such as bleeding or blockages. Cosy 60ml is also not recommended for people with certain types of tumors in the pituitary gland.
Side Effects
Side effects are rare, but may include temporary stomach cramps, dizziness, or skin reactions like rashes. In very rare cases, Cosy 60ml may cause an increase in a hormone that can lead to milk production in both men and women, or swelling in men’s breasts. If used in infants or people with brain-related conditions, there could be a risk of neurological side effects.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Cosy 60ml has not caused birth defects in animals, but Cosy 60ml should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary. Cosy 60ml passes into breast milk, so Cosy 60ml is not recommended for breastfeeding mothers unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
Precautions & Warnings
Cosy 60ml should be used cautiously in children and in people with liver problems. Young children may have a higher risk of certain side effects because their brain barrier isn’t fully developed.
