Ammonium Chloride + Bromhexine + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is used as cough and respiratory medications.
Ammonium Chloride functions as an expectorant. It irritates the airways, leading them to create more fluid which assists in thinning and loosening the mucus.
Bromhexine acts as a mucolytic agent. It breaks down mucus, making it less sticky and easier to remove from the airways.
Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant. It works by affecting signals in the brain that trigger the cough reflex, thus reducing the urge to cough.
Together, these active ingredients work effectively to reduce cough, clear mucus, and alleviate congestion associated with colds and other respiratory illnesses.
