Description
Levocetirizine HCl and Ambroxol HCL Syrup is a respiratory agent used to help manage conditions like chronic bronchitis, COPD, allergic rhinitis, and respiratory infections characterized by cough, sneezing, excessive nasal discharge, and tearing eyes. COPD includes diseases like emphysema (trouble breathing) and chronic bronchitis (swelling of the airways). Allergic rhinitis is when the nose gets inflamed due to things like pollen, dust, mould, or animal dander.
Levocetirizine HCl and Ambroxol HCL Syrup consist of two medicines: A pharmaceutical formulation of an anti-histamine, known as Levocetirizine along with a mucolytic agent called Ambroxol. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic agent) that helps to decrease the impact of histamine on the organism; histamine is associated with allergic effects, such as a runny nose and skin rash.
It helps to relieve symptoms, such as itchy and watery eyes, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and itching and rashing related to chronic idiopathic urticaria. Ambroxol is an expectoration agent that enhances the production and locomotion of sputum/cough. It is also known as a ‘mucolytic agent’ which makes sputum less thick so tasks such as breathing are easier to accomplish.
