How it works
Ammonium Chloride works by decreasing the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator. It relaxes the muscles in the airways & respiratory tract to make the condition better. This helps in making the breathing easier. Menthol causes numbness in the area of application by producing a mild anesthetic action and also cause a cooling sensation. Bromhexine is a mucolytic drug. It thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) in the nose, windpipe and lungs making it easier to cough out.
