Key Benefits

Benadryl Congestion Relief Cough Syrup, 50 ml is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ambroxol and Guaifenesin. Ambroxol belongs to the class of mucolytic agents (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose for coughing out easily. Being an expectorant, Guaifenesin reduces the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions (phlegm) and increases mucus flow making it easier to cough. 

About Benadryl Congestion Relief Cough Syrup, 50 ml

Benadryl Congestion Relief Cough Syrup, 50 ml belongs to the class of medicines called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat cough associated with mucus. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection.

A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.
