How it works
Cezarest -D 500 Tablet is a combination of Levocetirizine, Paracetamol and Phenylephrine. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical substance in the body responsible for allergic symptoms. Thus, it provides relief from allergy. Paracetamol works by preventing the formation of prostaglandin, the chemical responsible for pain and fever. Phenylephrine acts on the blood vessels in the nose and helps in relieving congestion.
