About Coupress N Syrup

AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+NOSCAPINE+SODIUM CITRATE belongs to a class of medications called ‘expectorants’ primarily used to treat dry cough. Coughing (dry or productive) is a body’s way of clearing irritants (like allergens, mucus or smoke) from airways and preventing infection. There are two types of coughs, namely: Dry cough and chesty cough. A dry cough is tickly and doesn't produce any vicious or thick mucus, while a chesty cough (wet cough) means mucous or sputum is produced to help clear your airways.

Medicinal Benefits of Coupress N Syrup

AMMONIUM CHLORIDE+NOSCAPINE+SODIUM CITRATE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Noscapine, Ammonium chloride and Sodium citrate. Noscapine belongs to the cough suppressants class that works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals from the cough centre in the brain to the muscles that produce cough, thereby decreasing the need to cough. Ammonium chloride belongs to the class of expectorants that reduce mucus stickiness and clear airways. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening the viscous phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nasal passage, which helps it to cough out easily.
