PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION: The primary Anti-tussive and Expectorant activity of Refax cough Syrup is believed to involve its action at the level of cough centre in brain and inhibit cough. Anti-tussives are used mainly for unproductive dry cough and if the cough is hazardous (e.g. cardiac disease, hernia, ocular surgery). Expectorants are drugs which reduce viscosity of bronchial secretion; hence the removal is facilitated by coughing. Diphenhydramine HCl is an Anti-histaminic drug, which provides symptomatic relief in cough because of their sedative and anticholinergic action. Ammonium chloride is a reflexly acting expectorant which reduce viscosity of bronchial secretion so as to facilitate the removal of coughing. Sodium citrate is a directly acting expectorant which also reduces the viscosity of bronchial secretion.
