Licomol Plus Tablet

Licomol Plus Tablet is a cough and cold medications medication primarily used to treat symptoms of the common cold such as sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. The common cold is a respiratory illness affecting the nose and throat mostly caused by viruses known as “rhinoviruses”. The virus enters the body through nose, mouth or eyes and spreads easily through droplets in the air when a person who is sick sneezes, coughs or talks.

Licomol Plus Tablet is composed of three medicines namely Levocetirizine (antihistamine), Ambroxol (mucolytic agent) and Paracetamol (analgesic and antipyretic). Levocetirizine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.  It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol is a mucolytic agent that works by thinning and loosening phlegm (mucus) in lungs, windpipe and nose. Thereby, helps to cough out easily. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins' responsible for pain and fever.
