Ambroxol breaks down and thins mucus, facilitating easier congestion removal in respiratory diseases with thick or excess phlegm and minimizing throat irritation. Cetirizine, an antihistamine, counteracts the allergy-inducing activity of histamine. Dextromethorphan prevents coughing by obstructing the cough receptor in the brain. Phenylephrine minimizes nasal congestion through vasoconstriction. Sodium Citrate calms the throat by minimizing irritation and loosening mucus.
