Cetirizine + Ambroxol

Cetirizine + Ambroxol is a combination medicine widely used for the treatment of respiratory infections and cough. It helps relieve symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and itching. It also loosens thick mucus and improves breathing. Cetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks the chemical action responsible for allergy. Ambroxol is a mucolytic (mucus thinner) that breaks down thick mucus and helps to eliminate it from the lungs and airways. Together, they provide dual-action relief in conditions involving allergies, nasal congestion, and cough with mucus.
