Medicinal Benefits

Benadryl Cough Formula Syrup, 50 ml contains Ammonium chloride, Diphenhydramine hydrochloride, Sodium citrate and ethanol used to treat cough. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that increases the volume of fluid in the airways, reduces the stickiness of mucus and helps to remove it from the airways. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that blocks the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, it helps to cough out easily. Ethanol acts as a preservative.

About Benadryl Cough Formula Syrup, 50 ml

Benadryl Cough Formula Syrup, 50 ml belongs to a class of medications called ‘expectorants’ used to treat cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. 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.

Benadryl Cough Formula Syrup, 50 ml is a combination of four drugs, namely: Ammonium chloride (expectorants), Diphenhydramine hydrochloride (antihistamine), Sodium citrate (mucolytic), and ethanol.
