About
AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+DIPHENHYDRAMINE+SODIUM CITRATE+TERPIN HYDRATE belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to provide relief from cough. Additionally, AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+DIPHENHYDRAMINE+SODIUM CITRATE+TERPIN HYDRATE may also be used in conditions such as dry cough, smoker’s cough, whooping cough, chronic cough, and post-surgical cough. Coughing is the body’s way to clear irritants from the throat, lungs and airways.
