Medicine Description benalex
Benalex Syrup is a medication that combines ammonium chloride, diphenhydramine, and guaifenesin to provide relief from cough and congestion. Ammonium chloride acts as an expectorant, helping to loosen mucus in the airways, facilitating its expulsion. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that alleviates allergy symptoms by blocking histamine receptors, providing relief from coughing caused by irritation and allergic reactions. Guaifenesin enhances mucus clearance by decreasing its viscosity, making it easier to expel. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to soothe the respiratory tract, reduce cough frequency, and improve overall respiratory function.
