Cough

Agidril Syrup is a combination of four medicines: Citric Acid, Diphenhydramine, Ammonium Chloride and Menthol. Citric Acid is a natural substance that helps relieve mild cough. Diphenhydramine is an antiallergic which relieves cough associated with allergies by blocking a chemical messenger, histamine. Ammonium Chloride is an expectorant which works by decreasing the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways. Menthol produces a cooling sensation and relieves throat irritation.

If you miss a dose of Agidril Syrup, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Agidril Syrup is prescribed to get relief from cough.

Drink warm water to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication.

Take exactly as directed by your doctor or on the label. Do not increase the dosage or take for longer than is recommended. Use a proper measuring cup or spoon to measure the dosage.

In general, most coughs do not last more than 2 weeks. If your cough does last longer than this then it’s better to see your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach ulcers or asthma.

Inform your doctor if you are taking any other medications, e.g., anti-depressants.

In Cough

Agidril Syrup gives relief from cough by loosening thick mucus and making it easier to cough it out. It also makes it easier for air to move in and out of your airways. This reduces the frequency of coughing and makes you feel better. Apart from this, Agidril Syrup helps soothe your throat and gives relief from irritation. Along with medications, drink enough lukewarm water and gargle with warm salt water to ease the symptoms.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
