Piriton Expectorant 100 ml is 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.
Piriton Expectorant 100 ml 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, Piriton Expectorant 100 ml provides relief from cough.

Cough: Coughing is a body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus, or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. Cough can be dry or productive. A productive cough (wet cough) develops sputum (phlegm or mucus) from the lungs, whereas a dry cough does not produce sputum. 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 out thick, solid white mucus, it indicates that you may have a bacterial infection in the airways. Clear or light-coloured mucus indicates allergies or minor infection in the respiratory tract, and a yellow or green mucus indicates a respiratory infection.
