Product Details

NGC Expectorant Cough Syrup 100ml

NGC Expectorant Cough Syrup is a trusted remedy in Nigeria for providing fast relief from chest congestion and productive (wet) coughs. Originally manufactured by Nigerian-German Chemicals PLC (NGC) and now distributed under Sygen Pharmaceuticals, this syrup is formulated to help you breathe easier by loosening mucus and phlegm.

How NGC Expectorant Works

This cough syrup contains a combination of active ingredients that target both the symptoms and the cause of respiratory discomfort:

  • Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (14mg/5ml): An antihistamine that reduces allergic reactions, helps dry up secretions, and provides a mild sedative effect to help you rest.
  • Ammonium Chloride (135mg/5ml): A powerful expectorant that thins out thick mucus in the throat and lungs, making it easier to cough up (productive cough).

Benefits

  • Relieves Chest Congestion: Clears the "heavy" feeling in the chest caused by mucus buildup.
  • Effective for Productive Coughs: Helps expel phlegm from the respiratory tract.
  • Multi-Symptom Relief: Also effective for hay fever and other allergic respiratory symptoms.

Dosage and Administration

For the best results, follow the dosage instructions below or as directed by your healthcare provider:

  • Adults and Children 12 years and older: 5ml to 10ml, three times daily.
  • Children 6 to 12 years: 2.5ml to 5ml, three times daily.
  • Note: Not recommended for children under 6 years without medical advice.

Side Effects and Precautions

Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, or dry mouth. Avoid driving or operating machinery after taking this medication. If symptoms persist for more than 7 days, please consult a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor.
