AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+DIPHENHYDRAMINE+SODIUM CITRATE+TERPIN HYDRATE

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.

AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+DIPHENHYDRAMINE+SODIUM CITRATE+TERPIN HYDRATE contains Ammonium chloride, Diphenhydramine, Sodium citrate, and Terpin hydrate.

Sodium citrate helps in loosening the congestion in the chest and throat, thereby making it easier to cough out through the mouth. Together, AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+DIPHENHYDRAMINE+SODIUM CITRATE+TERPIN HYDRATE provides relief from cough.
