Ventryl Syrup – 100 ml

Description

Ventryl Syrup – 100 ml Bottle

Composition (Per 5 ml):

• Chlorpheniramine Maleate – 2 mg
  (Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms like itching, swelling, and runny nose. It is used to treat allergy symptoms such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and other allergic conditions.)
• Ammonium Chloride – 100 mg
  (Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that helps loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to clear from the lungs. It is commonly used to treat coughs, colds, and respiratory conditions associated with thick mucus.)
• Sodium Citrate – 60 mg
  (Sodium citrate is used as an alkalinizing agent, helping to maintain the pH balance in the body. It can help in soothing the throat and reducing irritation caused by coughing.)
• Flavored Syrupy Base – q.s. (Quantity sufficient)
  (To provide the necessary flavor and consistency for the syrup.)

• Cough and respiratory issues: The syrup helps with the clearing of mucus in the airways, making it useful in treating cough, bronchitis, and other conditions that cause mucus build-up.
