Siroline

Description

Siroline Syrup is a combination cough and congestion medicine designed to provide relief from respiratory discomfort. It contains four active ingredients that work together to ease symptoms. Theophylline relaxes the muscles in the airways, improving airflow and making breathing easier. Ammonium chloride acts as an expectorant by loosening mucus and helping clear phlegm from the chest. Menthol provides a soothing and cooling effect that calms throat irritation, while Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, reduces allergic responses such as sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Together, these ingredients target multiple causes of cough and congestion, making the syrup effective for asthma-related cough, bronchitis, respiratory tract congestion, and allergy-related symptoms.
