Act Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Act 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.

• Store Act Tablet 10 in a cool, dry place, ideally below 25°C.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep the Tablet securely sealed in its original packaging.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to use the Tablet before its expiry date.

• Given that Act Tablet 10 is used for managing respiratory conditions, avoiding smoking can help reduce further irritation of your airways.

• For those suffering from allergic rhinitis managed by this medication, monitoring and limiting your intake of known allergens in your diet can help manage symptoms effectively.
