How Ambroxol+Cetirizine+Dextromethorphan+Guaifenesin+Phenylephrine works
This is a combination of five medicines: Ambroxol, cetirizine, dextromethorphan, guaifenesin and phenylephrine which relieve cough and cold symptoms. Ambroxol is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out. Cetirizine is an antiallergic which relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that relieves cough by reducing the activity of cough centre in the brain. Guaifenesin is an expectorant which decreases the stickiness of mucus (phlegm) and helps in its removal from the airways.
