About Ambroxol+ammonium Chloride+chlorpheniramine+guaiphenesin+phenylephrine

Ambroxol+ammonium Chloride+chlorpheniramine+guaiphenesin+phenylephrine belongs to the group of medicines called expectorants and cough products, used in the treatment of cough and cold. Coughing (whether dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants, such as allergens, mucus, or smoke, from the airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any viscous or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucus or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Ambroxol+ammonium Chloride+chlorpheniramine+guaiphenesin+phenylephrine is a combination of five drugs namely: Ambroxol hydrochloride (mucolytic agent), Ammonium chloride (irritant/expectorant), Guaiphenesin (expectorant), Phenylephrine hydrochloride (decongestant) and Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine). This medicine works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough.

Patients Concern

Disease/Condition Glossary

Cough: Coughing is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Coughs may be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) brings up sputum (phlegm, mucus, and other matter) from the lungs. Cough is commonly caused as a response to allergy or viral infection, but coughing up mucus is possibly an indication of infection in the respiratory tract. If you are coughing thick, solid white mucus, it indicates you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. If the mucus is clear or light-colored, it indicates you may have allergies or a minor infection in the respiratory tract, and yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
