WHAT BENATUSSIL FORTE EXPECTORANT IS
USED FOR
It is used as an expectorant for control
of cough due to cold or allergy
HOW BENATUSSIL FORTE EXPECTORANT
WORKS
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride is an
antihistamine that works by blocking a
certain
natural
substance
(histamine)
that your body makes during an allergic
reaction. Its drying effects are caused
by blocking another natural substance
made
by
your
body
(acetylcholine).
Ammonium Chloride is an expectorant
that
helps
to
liquefy
and
loosen
stubborn phlegm in airways.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A brown colour liquid having raspberry flavour.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
The
combination
of
Diphenhydramine
Hydrochloride,
an
antihistamine
and
Ammonium
Chloride, an expectorant, will provide rapid relief for cough which is
associated with common
cold influenza or allergic conditions.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Diphenhydramine
hydrochloride
is
well
absorbed
from
the
gastrointestinal
tract.
Peak
plasma
concentrations are achieved about 1 to 4 hours after oral doses.
Diphenhydramine is widely distributed
throughout
the
body
including
the
CNS.
Diphenhydramine
is
highly
bound
to
plasma
proteins.
Metabolism is extensive. Diphenhydramine is excreted mainly in the
urine as metabolites; little is
excreted as unchanged drug. The elimination half-life has been
reported to range from 2.4 to 9.3 hours.
Ammonium chloride is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
The ammonium ion is converted into urea in the liver, the anion thus
liberated into the blood and
extracellular fluid causes a metabolic acidosis and decreases the pH
of the urine; this is followed by
transient diuresis.
INDICATION
It is indicated as an expectorant for control of coughs due to colds
or allergy.
