Medicinal Benefits of Cetrish AD Tablet

LEVOCETIRIZINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE+AMBROXOL is a combination of respiratory medication used to treat common cold symptoms. It consists of Levocetirizine (anti-histamine), Pseudoephedrine (decongestant) and Ambroxol (mucolytic agent). Levocetirizine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic) drug that reduces the effects of histamine, a chemical substance that causes allergies like runny nose and skin rash. Pseudoephedrine belongs to the class of decongestant drugs. Works by reducing the swelling of blood vessels in your nose, this helps mucus and airflow more freely in the cavities in your nose (sinuses), helping you breathe more easily. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose.
