Bronex (1/5/65mg) 60ml Syrup

Ammonium Chloride, Phenylephrine, and Chlorphenamine Maleate work synergistically in this syrup/suspension. Ammonium Chloride helps to thin and loosen mucus, aiding in its removal from the respiratory tract. Phenylephrine, a sympathomimetic amine, acts as a decongestant by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing swelling and congestion. Chlorphenamine Maleate, an antihistamine, blocks the action of histamine, thereby reducing symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Together, these components provide relief from congestion, allergies, and cold symptoms by targeting multiple pathways involved in the body's response to allergens and congestion.
