Medicine Description lergicare 120 ml
Lergicare 120 ml Syrup is a medication that combines dextromethorphan, levocetirizine, and phenylephrine to provide relief from symptoms associated with respiratory allergies and colds. Dextromethorphan acts as a cough suppressant by inhibiting the cough reflex in the brain, which reduces the urge to cough. LevoCetirizine, the active enantiomer of cetirizine, functions as a selective H1 receptor antagonist, effectively blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. This antihistamine action alleviates symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, leading to reduced swelling and congestion, thus promoting easier breathing. Together, these components address a range of symptoms from allergies to common colds.
