How LCZ Plus Tablet 10s works

This medicine is made from a combination of four medicines: Ambroxol, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol, and Levocetrizine. Phenylephrine is a nasal decongestant that makes breathing easier by treating swelling and congestion by contracting the blood vessels present in the nasal passages. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that relieves congestion in the airways by loosening and thinning mucus. Levocetirizine has anti-histaminic property which treats itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes by blocking histamine receptors. Paracetamol is an antipyretic and a pain reliever. It inhibits several chemical messengers from the brain responsible for the sensation of pain and causes inflammation.
