CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
Ammonium chloride is an inorganic compound made up of ammonia and hydrochloride gas. It has a molecular formula of NH4Cl. This compound sublimates instead of melting because it breaks down into its constituent gases.
PRODUCT APPLICATION:
This compound acts as an irritant and irritates the respiratory mucosa. This causes increased production of secretion which helps in expelling the phlegm out with a cough. This application of ammonium chloride is very widely accepted and known. In some kidney conditions, the acid-base balance gets disturbed and ammonium chloride is used to treat the alkalosis, but very carefully.
