Indications

Citric Acid Monohydrate is used to manage dry cough.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Citric Acid Monohydrate helps ease a dry cough and soothes the throat, including the discomfort and pain that come with it. It works as a demulcent, which means it relieves irritation of the mucous membrane in the throat by forming a protective film over it. After it is taken by mouth, Citric Acid is absorbed. It is found naturally in the body and is widely distributed.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

There's little or no data on the use of Citric Acid Monohydrate in pregnant women. There's also not enough information on whether Citric Acid Monohydrate or its metabolites pass into human milk.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
