Uses

Aden-Rex is commonly prescribed to alleviate symptoms associated with coughs and congestion. It helps to soothe the throat, reduce coughing, and thin mucus, making it easier to expel from the airways. This medication is often used to provide temporary relief from respiratory conditions such as the common cold, bronchitis, and other respiratory infections.

Mechanism of Action

Aden-Rex contains Diphenhydramine, Ammonium Chloride, Terpin Hydrate, and Sodium Citrate. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that helps to relieve coughing and congestion by blocking the action of histamine, a substance released in the body during an allergic reaction. Ammonium Chloride helps to break down and thin mucus, making it easier to expel. Terpin Hydrate is an expectorant that helps to loosen and clear mucus from the airways. Sodium Citrate helps to soothe the throat and reduce irritation.
