How It Works

• Diphenhydramine (14.08mg/5ml): An antihistamine with cough suppressant action that helps reduce allergic cough, throat irritation, and post-nasal drip.

• Ammonium Chloride (138mg/5ml): An expectorant that helps loosen and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough out phlegm.

• Sodium Citrate (57.03mg/5ml): A mucolytic and alkalinizing agent that helps break down thick mucus and soothe irritation in the respiratory tract.
