Torex

Torex is a combination oral cough syrup developed and marketed by Torque Pharmaceuticals. It is formulated with four active ingredients: diphenhydramine, ammonium chloride, terpin hydrate, and sodium citrate. Diphenhydramine serves as an antihistamine that blocks H1 receptors to alleviate allergy symptoms and reduce the sensitivity of the cough reflex. Ammonium chloride and terpin hydrate act as expectorants, increasing the volume and decreasing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions to facilitate phlegm removal. Sodium citrate functions as a mucolytic agent that thins and loosens mucus. The product is indicated for the symptomatic relief of various cough types, including dry, chronic, and smoker's cough, and has been a leading brand in the Indian consumer healthcare market for over thirty years.
