How Suntuss CF Syrup Works
Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine with cough-suppressant and sedative properties that blocks the cough reflex. Ammonium Chloride acts as an expectorant, thinning mucus in the airways for easier expulsion. Sodium Citrate works as a mucolytic and alkalizer, helping to break down thick mucus and reduce throat irritation.
