Mechanism of Action
The expectorants in Tuxil-N (ammonium chloride and sodium citrate) work by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions, making them easier to cough up and expel. Ephedrine hydrochloride acts as a decongestant by constricting blood vessels in the nasal and respiratory passages, reducing swelling and congestion.
