Benadryl Cough Formula Syrup 150ml
AMMONIUM CHLORIDE
Overview:
Ammonium chloride is a medication and chemical compound that helps loosen mucus in the lungs and maintain the body’s acid balance. It’s frequently utilized in cough syrups as an expectorant, that is, a substance that helps to loosen stubborn mucus so it can be coughed up.
Physicians may utilize ammonium chloride to address a condition known as metabolic alkalosis. Here, the medicine is helping the body return to its rightful acid equilibrium.
Though it’s typically safe in accordance with the directions, it ought to be consumed cautiously—in particular, in individuals with kidney/liver/heart issues.
