Product Details
- Name: Codolin Expectorant (typically contains Ammonium Chloride, Diphenhydramine, and Menthol).
- How It Works: It uses a multi-action formula. Ammonium Chloride acts as an expectorant, increasing the fluid in the respiratory tract to thin out thick mucus so it can be coughed up easily. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that dries up nasal secretions and suppresses the cough reflex. Menthol provides a cooling, soothing sensation to an irritated throat.
- Form: Oral Syrup
- Warning:
- Drowsiness: This medication can cause significant sleepiness; do not drive or operate machinery after use.
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it increases the sedative effects of the antihistamine.
- Age Restriction: Generally not recommended for children under 6 years of age unless specifically directed by a doctor.
- Medical Conditions: Consult a healthcare provider before use if you have asthma, glaucoma, or liver/kidney issues.
- Overdose: Do not take with other cough and cold medicines or antihistamines to avoid accidental overdose.
