How it works
Ambroxol works by promoting mucus clearance and easing a productive cough. Phenylephrine acts by reducing the swelling of the blood vessels in the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of a natural substance produced by the body called histamine which is responsible for causing allergic symptoms.
