Curahist 4500Ml Expectorent

Curahist 4500Ml Expectorent belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to provide relief from cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract.

Curahist 4500Ml Expectorent is a combination of three drugs, namely: Ammonium chloride (expectorant), Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine), and Sodium citrate (mucolytic). Ammonium chloride helps loosen the congestion in the chest and throat by decreasing airway secretion's stickiness. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate loosens and thins the phlegm, making it easier to cough it out. Together, Curahist 4500Ml Expectorent provides relief from cough.
