Ambroxol belongs to the mucolytic agent class of medicines that reduces the thickness of mucus in the airways to facilitate coughing.
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that minimises allergy symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing by competing with histamine for H1-receptor sites in the body, thus reducing the allergic response.
Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It works by increasing the volume and reducing the thickness of secretions in the trachea and bronchi, thereby promoting mucus removal.
Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal mucous membranes, decreasing inflammation and swelling, and helping people breathe more easily.
