How Allercet Dc Tablet 10 Works?
Cetirizine (10 mg): It is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine which your body releases when it thinks it's under attack from outside elements like pollen or dust mites. This blocking of histamine helps reduce allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Phenylephrine (10 mg) : It is a decongestant that works by narrowing the blood vessels in your nasal passages due to which there is less space for the blood to flow. This leads to reduced swelling and congestion in your nose, making it easier to breathe.
