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.
