Kuffdryl Syrup 100 ml belongs to a group of medicines called expectorants and cough products used to provide relief from cough. Additionally, Kuffdryl Syrup 100 ml may also help in providing relief from allergy and nasal congestion due to cold. Coughing (dry or productive) is the body's way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways, thereby preventing respiratory infection.
Kuffdryl Syrup 100 ml contains Ammonium chloride, Diphenhydramine hydrochloride, and Sodium citrate. Ammonium chloride helps remove phlegm/mucus from the airways by decreasing its stickiness. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride works by blocking the action of a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Sodium citrate helps in reducing congestion, thereby making it easier to cough out through the mouth. Together, Kuffdryl Syrup 100 ml provides relief from cough.
