Diphenhydramine, Ammonium Chloride

Diphenhydramine Ammonium Chloride is a combination medication used for the treatment of allergies and cold symptoms. Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, helps to relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance produced by the body during an allergic reaction. Ammonium Chloride, on the other hand, is an expectorant that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the lungs, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways.
This combination medication is effective in providing relief from allergy and cold symptoms, such as cough, runny nose, and congestion. It is particularly useful for patients who experience both allergic and respiratory symptoms simultaneously. The medication is available in both oral and injectable forms, making it suitable for various patient preferences and needs.
It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to avoid any adverse effects. Common side effects of Diphenhydramine Ammonium Chloride may include dizziness, dry mouth, and drowsiness. As with any medication, patients should consult with their healthcare provider before using this combination medication, especially if they have any pre-existing medical conditions or are taking other medications.
