Medicinal Benefits of Ciz LE D 5 mg/120 mg Tablet

LEVOCETIRIZINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is a combination of two drugs: Levocetirizine and Pseudoephedrine primarily used to treat symptoms of allergy and the common cold. Levocetirizine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps provide relief from allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness. Pseudoephedrine belongs to the class of decongestant drugs. Works by narrowing small blood vessels in your nose. This helps mucus and airflow more freely in the cavities in your nose (sinuses), helping you to breathe more easily. Altogether LEVOCETIRIZINE+PSEUDOEPHEDRINE relieves the symptoms from common cold symptoms.
