About Product




AMYDRAMINE is for the symptomatic relief of common coughs (such as dry and/or tickly, or troublesome cough) associated with upper respiratory tract congestion.


This medicine contains the active ingredients diphenhydramine hydrochloride, ammonium chloride, and sodium citrate.


Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine that possesses antitussive, antihistaminic, and anticholinergic properties and suppresses the urge to cough. It also dries up secretions in the nose and chest. Experiments have shown that the antitussive effect is discrete from its sedative effect.


Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that helps loosen phlegm and catarrh.


Sodium citrate is a mucolytic, an agent which breaks down the phlegm.

The person who will take the medicine is under 12 years of age. This medicine should not be used for the treatment of cough and cold symptoms in children below 12 years.
