Intadryl Syrup

Intadryl Syrup is a cough suppressant and expectorant formulation that combines Diphenhydramine (14.08mg/5ml), Ammonium Chloride (138mg/5ml), and Sodium Citrate (57.03mg/5ml). It is used for the relief of cough, throat irritation, and chest congestion caused by common cold, flu, or allergies. Intadryl Syrup works through a triple-action mechanism—suppressing the cough reflex, thinning mucus, and soothing the throat—offering fast and effective symptomatic relief.

How Intadryl Syrup Works

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that suppresses the cough reflex and helps relieve allergy symptoms. Ammonium Chloride acts as an expectorant, thinning mucus for easier expulsion. Sodium Citrate helps break down thick mucus and acts as a systemic alkalizer, making it easier to clear the airways.
