How it Works

Ambrosol-D Syrup is a combination of four medicines. Dextromethorphan Hydrobromideis a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of the cough center in the brain. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels providing relief from chest congestion. Guaifenesin works by decreasing the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Triprolidine is an antihistaminic medication. It blocks the action of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for inflammation, congestion, itching, and other allergic reactions. This is how Ambrosol-D Syrup works to treat dry cough.
