Product Introduction:
AMICET Tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Levocetirizine (5mg) and Ambroxol (60mg). Levocetirizine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergic conditions such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and hives. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that helps to thin and loosen mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up. The combination is prescribed for the relief of symptoms associated with respiratory conditions accompanied by cough and congestion.
AMICET Tablet is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
The most common side effects are stomach upset, dryness in mouth, headache, fatigue, and allergic reaction. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects. This medicine can also cause dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can make dizziness worse.
Never support self-medication or recommend your medicine to another person. It is beneficial to have plenty of fluids while taking this medication. Before taking it, you should tell your doctor if you have any kidney and liver diseases. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking this medicine.
Benefits:
