How Ambrolite Cold Syrup works

Cold-cough combinations typically work by reducing nasal congestion (decongestant action), suppressing cough (antitussive action) and/or loosening mucus (expectorant/mucolytic action). Antihistamines may reduce sneezing and runny nose, while analgesic/antipyretic components help relieve fever and body pain. Exact mechanism depends on the ingredients present.
