LEVOCETRIZINE HCL MONTELUKAST ACEBROPHYLINE
LEVOCETRIZINE HCL MONTELUKAST ACEBROPHYLINE: LEVOCETRIZINE HCL MONTELUKAST ACEBROPHYLINE is a combination drug that contains three active ingredients: Levocetirizine hydrochloride, Montelukast, and Acebrophylline. It is primarily used for the treatment of allergic respiratory diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD).
Levocetirizine hydrochloride is a second-generation antihistamine that helps to relieve allergy symptoms by blocking the action of histamine in the body. It reduces symptoms like sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes caused by allergic reactions.
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of certain chemicals called leukotrienes in the body. This helps to reduce inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and swelling of the airways, providing relief to asthma and allergic rhinitis symptoms.
Acebrophylline is a bronchodilator and mucolytic agent. It relaxes the smooth muscles of the airways, making breathing easier. It also reduces the thickness of the mucus, making it easier to cough up.
The usual recommended dose of LEVOCETRIZINE HCL MONTELUKAST ACEBROPHYLINE is one tablet taken orally once daily, preferably in the evening. The dosage may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the response of the patient. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare professional or as mentioned on the packaging.
