Alocet D Syrup contains the following components:

• Cetirizine (5 mg): As a potent antihistamine, cetirizine works by selectively inhibiting peripheral histamine H1-receptors. This blocks histamine in your body, preventing allergy symptoms like rash, itching, sneezing and runny nose.
• Dextromethorphan (10 mg): Dextromethorphan is a cough suppressant that targets the brain's cough center to reduce the urge to cough, especially helpful for controlling dry, non-productive coughs.
• Phenylephrine (5 mg): Phenylephrine is a decongestant that constricts blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing inflammation and swelling to alleviate nasal congestion and aid breathing.

• When managing cold, flu, or allergy symptoms, staying well-hydrated is essential, as it helps thin mucus and facilitates easier breathing. Consider sipping warm water, herbal teas, or clear broths.
• Some foods can exacerbate nasal congestion, so it’s best to avoid spicy dishes and dairy products, which may lead to increased mucus production.
