About Histonate Expectorant
Histonate Expectorant belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to provide relief from cough. Additionally, Histonate Expectorant may also help in providing relief from allergies and nasal congestion due to colds. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection.
Histonate Expectorant combines three drugs: Diphenhydramine, Ammonium chloride, and Sodium citrate. Diphenhydramine works by blocking the action of a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Ammonium chloride helps remove phlegm/mucus from the airways by decreasing its stickiness. Sodium citrate helps reduce congestion, making it easier to cough out through the mouth. Together, Histonate Expectorant provides relief from cough.
Take Histonate Expectorant as prescribed. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Histonate Expectorant for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, stomach upset, dizziness, tiredness, and dry mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor before taking Histonate Expectorant if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Histonate Expectorant may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Histonate Expectorant should be given to children only if prescribed by the doctor. Avoid consuming alcohol with Histonate Expectorant as it could lead to increased dizziness.
