Levocetirizine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg + Ambroxol 75mg

Levocetirizine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg + Ambroxol 75mg — Uses and Benefits

This medicine is prescribed for allergic conditions of the nose and airways that come with cough and mucus production, such as allergic rhinitis with chest congestion, and certain cases of bronchitis with allergic symptoms.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Relief of sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and itching due to allergies
• Cough with thick mucus (phlegm) that is difficult to clear
• Symptoms of allergic bronchitis where airway narrowing and mucus are both present

HOW IT WORKS

• Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, reducing allergy symptoms
• Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, chemicals that cause airway narrowing and inflammation
• Ambroxol is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus, making it easier to cough out

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• It is not a cure for asthma and should not replace your regular asthma inhaler or preventer medicine
• It is not meant for dry cough without mucus
• It is not used for bacterial chest infections unless prescribed alongside an antibiotic
• It should not be used as a first-choice treatment for sudden, severe breathing difficulty
