Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Uses

Cough, Allergies

Medicinal Benefits

Cofryl Syrup is a combination of three drugs: Diphenhydramine, Ammonium chloride and Sodium citrate. Cofryl Syrup is used to relieve a cough accompanied by cold symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Additionally, Cofryl Syrup helps in providing relief from allergies. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of a chemical substance called histamine, which is responsible for causing allergic reactions. Ammonium chloride is an expectorant that helps remove phlegm/mucus from the airways by decreasing its stickiness. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent that helps loosen the congestion, making it easier to cough out through the mouth. Together, Cofryl Syrup provides relief from cough.

Cofryl Syrup is a combination drug containing three medicines: Diphenhydramine, Ammonium Chloride and Sodium Citrate. Diphenhydramine blocks a natural substance (histamine) during an allergic reaction. Ammonium chloride decreases mucus stickiness, and sodium citrate being mucolytic, loosens the mucus and makes it easier to cough out. Together it helps relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.
