Frequently asked questions

What is Kilkof Expectorant used for?+
Kilkof Expectorant is an over‑the‑counter combination of ammonium chloride and diphenhydramine hydrochloride used to relieve a productive cough, chest congestion, allergic rhinitis and other common‑cold related symptoms.
How does ammonium chloride work in Kilkof Expectorant?+
Ammonium chloride irritates the respiratory mucosa, which stimulates the cough reflex and increases the volume of bronchial secretions, making mucus easier to expectorate and helping clear the airways.
How does diphenhydramine hydrochloride work in this product?+
Diphenhydramine blocks H1 histamine receptors, reducing allergic inflammation and providing antitussive and mild sedative effects that complement the expectorant action of ammonium chloride.
What is the usual dose of Kilkof Expectorant?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, severity of symptoms and individual response. Patients should follow the label instructions or their clinician’s guidance.
