Odaril Syrup

Odaril Syrup is a combination cough formulation containing Diphenhydramine (14.08mg/5ml), Ammonium Chloride (138mg/5ml), and Sodium Citrate (57.03mg/5ml). It is used to treat cough and related symptoms such as throat irritation, congestion, and runny nose caused by colds, allergies, or respiratory tract infections. Odaril Syrup works through a triple-action mechanism—suppressing cough, loosening mucus, and soothing irritated airways—to provide fast and effective relief.

Uses of Odaril Syrup

• Relieves dry and productive (wet) cough
• Reduces throat irritation and itching
• Clears mucus from the airways
• Alleviates cough caused by allergies, cold, or flu

How Odaril Syrup Works

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that reduces cough and allergic symptoms by blocking histamine receptors and suppressing the cough reflex. Ammonium Chloride acts as an expectorant, helping to thin and loosen mucus. Sodium Citrate functions as a mucolytic and systemic alkalizer, making mucus easier to expel and reducing throat irritation.

Benefits of Odaril Syrup

• Quick relief from both dry and wet cough
• Reduces throat inflammation and discomfort
• Improves breathing by clearing mucus
• Effective in treating cough due to allergy or infection
