Act 5/60 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Act 5/60 MG Tablet 10 works through the combined action of two active ingredients:

• Ambroxol (60 mg): This component acts as a mucolytic agent in your body. It helps break down mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough it out. It also boosts the production of surfactant, a substance that keeps your airways open and prevents them from collapsing.

• Cetirizine (5 mg): This ingredient is an antihistamine that targets histamine H1 receptors specifically. It helps manage allergic symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes by blocking the action of histamine - a chemical messenger involved in allergic reactions. Its selective action on H1 receptors reduces the risk of drowsiness compared to other antihistamines.
