Product Information
Ammonium chloride dissociates into ammonium (NH₄⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions in the body. The ammonium ion is metabolized by the liver into urea and hydrogen ions (H⁺). The release of these hydrogen ions into the bloodstream lowers the blood pH, effectively acidifying the urine. This acidification process is useful in the treatment of certain conditions, such as metabolic alkalosis, where there is a need to reduce the alkalinity of the blood and urine. Through its dual role as an expectorant and acidifier, ammonium chloride is effective in managing respiratory conditions and correcting acid-base imbalances. Phenylephrine is a selective α1-adrenergic receptor agonist that primarily exerts its effects by stimulating α1-adrenergic receptors on smooth muscle cells. This action leads to vasoconstriction, or the narrowing of blood vessels, which in turn increases blood pressure. By binding to these receptors, phenylephrine causes the contraction of vascular smooth muscle, particularly in the arterioles. This mechanism helps to reduce nasal congestion by shrinking the swollen mucosal tissues in the nasal passages. Chlorphenamine Maleate is an antihistamine that works by blocking the H1 histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions, which binds to these receptors and causes symptoms such as itching, swelling, and vasodilation. By antagonizing the H1 receptors, diphenhydramine prevents histamine from binding and activating these receptors. This action helps to alleviate allergy symptoms, such as runny nose, sneezing, and itching. Additionally, diphenhydramine has anticholinergic properties, which contribute to its sedative effects and can also provide relief from nausea and motion sickness.
