Pendorex Cough Mixture 100 mL

Who is this for?

This is a cough mixture that combines three ingredients — ammonium chloride helps loosen thick phlegm in your chest so you can cough it out, sodium citrate helps thin the mucus, and menthol gives a soothing, cooling feeling in your throat.

Stimulates mucus secretion and reduces mucus viscosity through vagal stimulation of bronchial glands, while menthol acts as a topical irritant on respiratory mucosa to promote clearance of airway secretions and provide mild analgesic effects on throat irritation.

Is Ammonium safe to take with another drug?

Adults should take 2 to 4 teaspoonfuls (10–20 mL) three to four times a day. You can take it with or without food. Shake the bottle well before use. You may find it easier to take if slightly chilled.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, just skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not double up to make up for it.

• Stomach upset or mild nausea
• feeling like you want to vomit
• slight loose stool
• a warm or tingling feeling in the throat

Avoid taking this with antacids or ulcer drugs containing aluminium or magnesium as they may reduce effectiveness. If you are taking any kidney medication, consult your doctor first. Alcohol may increase the feeling of nausea.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving it in your car or near a window. Keep the bottle tightly closed and always out of reach of children.
