Medicine Description coldal 150mg
Coldal 150mg Syrup is a medication that combines several active ingredients, each contributing to its therapeutic effects. Ammonium chloride acts as an expectorant, helping to loosen and thin mucus in the airways, facilitating its expulsion. Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, alleviates symptoms of allergies and reduces coughing by blocking histamine receptors. Ephedrine serves as a bronchodilator, relaxing the muscles in the airways, thereby relieving breathing difficulties. Potassium citrate helps to maintain proper acid-base balance and can alleviate irritation of the respiratory tract, while sodium benzoate serves as a preservative and has mild antimicrobial properties. Together, these components work synergistically to relieve cough, improve mucus clearance, and support respiratory function.
