Chlorohist Syp 120Ml

Ammonium Chloride promotes the excretion of excess acid by the kidneys, helping to maintain the body's acid-base balance. Citrate B.P., or citric acid, acts as a buffer and chelating agent, binding to and neutralizing excess acid in the body. Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride B.P., an antihistamine, blocks the action of histamine receptors in the brain and peripheral tissues, reducing the production of stomach acid and providing sedative effects to suppress the cough reflex.
