How Ammonium Chloride + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide + Guaifenesin works

  • Ammonium Chloride + Chlorpheniramine Maleate + Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide + Guaifenesin is a cough and cold medication combination.

  • Ammonium Chloride is an expectorant. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, clearing congestion, and making it easier to breathe.

  • Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antihistamine. It blocks a natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction, easing symptoms like watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, and itching.

  • Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide is a cough suppressant. It acts on a part of the brain (cough centre) to reduce the urge to cough.

  • Guaifenesin is another expectorant. It increases the flow of fluids in your respiratory tract to help loosen congestion in your chest and throat.
