Medicine Description cetrak 1MG/ML
Cetrak 1MG/ML Syrup is a medication that combines cetirizine, an antihistamine, and pseudoephedrine, a decongestant. Cetirizine works by selectively inhibiting the H1 histamine receptor, reducing the effects of histamine, which is responsible for allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Pseudoephedrine functions as a sympathomimetic agent, causing vasoconstriction of nasal blood vessels, leading to decreased nasal congestion by reducing swelling in the nasal passages. Together, these ingredients synergistically alleviate symptoms of allergic rhinitis and nasal congestion.
