Ascodex Plus Syrup is a combination medication used to relieve cough and related allergic symptoms. It is particularly effective in treating productive cough—a type of cough where mucus or phlegm is present. This syrup works by thinning and loosening the mucus in the nose, throat, and lungs, making it easier to expel through coughing. It also contains ingredients that soothe throat irritation and reduce symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing, which are commonly associated with allergies and respiratory infections. Ascodex Plus Syrup is often prescribed for coughs associated with colds, bronchitis, or other respiratory tract infections. It helps in opening up the airways, improving breathing comfort. For best results, it is important to take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor and complete the full course, even if symptoms improve before completion.

How Ascodex Plus Syrup works
Ascodex Plus Syrup combines five active ingredients—Guaifenesin, Bromhexine, Diphenhydramine, Ammonium Chloride, and Sodium Citrate—that work together to manage cough and its associated symptoms. Guaifenesin acts as an expectorant, thinning the mucus in the lungs and making it easier to cough up. Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent that breaks down thick mucus, helping in its easy removal from the respiratory tract. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. It helps reduce sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Ammonium Chloride has a mild expectorant action, which further assists in clearing the mucus, while Sodium Citrate works as a buffering agent and helps reduce acidity in secretions, thereby reducing irritation. This combined action results in reduced chest congestion, improved breathing, and less irritation in the throat.
