Ambroxol + Levocetirizine + Montelukast is primarily used to manage respiratory conditions. It belongs to the group of mucolytic agents, antihistamines, and leukotriene receptor antagonists.
Additionally, it is prescribed to prevent asthma symptoms and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, treat perennial and seasonal allergic rhinitis, manage COPD and chronic bronchitis, and relieve cough due to sticky mucus and postnasal drip.

Ambroxol, the first component, is a mucolytic agent. It works by thinning and loosening mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough out. This is achieved by increasing bronchial secretions and making the mucus less viscous, thus enhancing surfactant production and increasing water content in the airways.
Levocetirizine, the second component, is an antihistamine. It provides relief from allergy symptoms such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing by selectively inhibiting histamine H1 receptors. This prevents histamine from causing allergic reactions like itching, swelling, and increased secretions.
Montelukast, the third component, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It reduces airway inflammation and improves breathing by blocking the action of leukotriene D4 on the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1 in the lungs and bronchial tubes. This results in reduced bronchoconstriction, inflammation, and mucus production.
