How it works
- Ammonium Chloride is used as an expectorant in cough medicine
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate basically tames allergy symptoms by attaching to histamine receptors.
- Histamines are responsible for allergic and inflammatory reactions.
- Chlorpheniramine Maleate blocks the action of the endogenous histamine, by reducing the negative symptoms brought on by histamine.
- Dextromethorphan acts centrally on the cough center in the medulla thereby suppressing the cough.
- Guaifenesin acts on the respiratory tract secretions by reducing their viscosity or loosen the mucus to expel out.
