LAVETA COLD TABLET

LAVETA COLD TABLET is a combination medicine used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and allergy (allergic rhinitis). The common cold is a respiratory illness that affects the nose and throat. It is mostly caused by a virus known as rhinovirus. Allergy is a response of the immune system to foreign substances called allergens. This causes histamine release in the blood, which leads to a stuffy nose, watery eyes, itchy nose/throat, etc.

LAVETA COLD TABLET contains Levocetirizine, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol and Caffeine. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions, thereby helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy. Phenylephrine works by narrowing the blood vessels, this helps provide relief from congestion. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins that are responsible for pain and fever. Caffeine decreases the sleepiness caused by Levocetirizine and increases the effectiveness of paracetamol. Together, LAVETA COLD TABLET helps in treating the symptoms of the common cold and allergy.
