Ambroxol + Loratadine

Ambroxol + Loratadine is a combination medication used to treat symptoms of respiratory conditions such as colds, allergies, and sinusitis.

Loratadine is an antihistamine that helps reduce allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Together, these medications provide comprehensive relief from both the congestion and allergic reactions commonly associated with colds and respiratory infections.
