How Does It Work?
Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic that breaks down thick phlegm so it can be coughed out more easily. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks allergy triggers responsible for sneezing and runny nose. Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, chemical messengers that cause swelling and narrowing of the airways, thereby improving airflow.
