What It Is / How It Works
Piriton Expectorant is a combination cough preparation that typically includes an expectorant (such as guaifenesin or ammonium chloride depending on formulation) and an antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine.
- The expectorant helps thin and loosen mucus in the airways

This dual action helps support relief in respiratory conditions involving mucus and mild allergy symptoms.
