About Grakof Expectorant

AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+SODIUM CITRATE belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to provide relief from cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways thereby preventing respiratory infection. 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.

AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+SODIUM CITRATE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Ammonium chloride (expectorant), Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine), and Sodium citrate (mucolytic). Ammonium chloride helps loosen the congestion in the chest and throat by decreasing airway secretion's stickiness. Chlorpheniramine maleate works by blocking a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate loosens and thins the phlegm, making it easier to cough out. Together, AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+SODIUM CITRATE provides relief from cough.
