FAQs

Ambrolite D Liquid 100 ml is primarily used to treat dry cough. It is composed of four medicines, namely: Cetirizine (antihistamine/antiallergic), Phenylephrine (decongestant), and Dextromethorphan (cough suppressant) and menthol. Cetirizine belongs to the class of antihistamines (antiallergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion or stiffness. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing stuffy nose.

Menthol is an additive that helps to relieve minor irritation in the throat and produces a cooling sensation.
