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