Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Menthol+Diphenhydramine+Ammonium+Citric Acid acts partly by blocking the action of histamine. Antiallergic diphenhydramine improves allergy symptoms such as runny noses, sneezing, and watery eyes. Ammonium chloride is a kind of expectorant that effectively removes phlegm (mucus) from the airway by reducing its adhesion. Sodium citrate is a form of mucolytic, implying that it loosens and thins phlegm (mucus) to make coughing easier.
