Ammonium chloride is used as -

  • A.Antiseptic
  • B.Expectorant
  • C.Analgesic
  • D.Antipyretic

Answer: B

Ammonium chloride is used as an expectorant.

Taken by mouth it irritates the gastric mucosa slightly, and this reflexly increases the flow of thin bronchial secretions, so phlegm is easier to cough up. It is a common ingredient of cough syrups. It is also used as a systemic and urinary acidifier.

It has no antiseptic, analgesic or antipyretic action worth using, so the other options do not describe it.
