Paracetamol+phenylephrine Hydrochloride+chlorpheniramine Maleate+sodium Citrate+ammonium Chloride+menthol

Paracetamol+phenylephrine Hydrochloride+chlorpheniramine Maleate+sodium Citrate+ammonium Chloride+menthol belongs to a class of medications called 'expectorants'. It is used in the treatment of cough. Cough is defined as the sudden expulsion of air out of the lungs due to irritation through the throat with a sharp noise. Cough is classified into two types, namely: Dry cough and wet cough. A dry cough is tickly without the production of vicious or thick mucus, while a wet cough is the production of vicious or thick mucus. 

Paracetamol+phenylephrine Hydrochloride+chlorpheniramine Maleate+sodium Citrate+ammonium Chloride+menthol is a combination of Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Chlorpheniramine, Sodium citrate (mucolytic agent), Ammonium chloride, and Menthol (cooling agent). Paracetamol inhibits the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) in the brain responsible for pain and fever. Ammonium chloride works by irritating the airways, which increases respiratory tract fluid production and decreases the stickiness of mucus that can be coughed out easily. Chlorpheniramine blocks the action of histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing the stuffy nose. Sodium citrate works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe, and nose. Menthol provides relief from minor throat irritation by giving a cooling sensation. Together, Paracetamol+phenylephrine Hydrochloride+chlorpheniramine Maleate+sodium Citrate+ammonium Chloride+menthol helps to provide relief from cough.
