It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Sodium citrate is a mucolytic agent (cough/sputum thinner) that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in the lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby helping to cough out easily. Menthol is a cooling agent that relieves minor irritation in the throat and provides a cooling sensation. Together, they help relieve symptoms of a common cold like headache, fever and allergies like stuffy nose, watery eyes, itching nose/throat, etc.
