About CETRILIV AC TABLET

CETRILIV AC 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.

CETRILIV AC 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, CETRILIV AC TABLET helps in treating the symptoms of the common cold and allergy.

You are advised to take CETRILIV AC TABLET for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side-effects such as nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, restlessness and sleepiness in some cases. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

CETRILIV AC TABLET contains paracetamol, do not take any other medicines containing paracetamol along with CETRILIV AC TABLET unless prescribed. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. CETRILIV AC TABLET may cause drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. CETRILIV AC TABLET is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol with CETRILIV AC TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any unpleasant side-effects.

Medicinal Benefits

CETRILIV AC TABLET is a combination of four drugs, namely: Levocetirizine, Phenylephrine, Paracetamol and Caffeine. CETRILIV AC TABLET is used to treat the symptoms of the common cold and allergy (allergic rhinitis). 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 allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling and congestion or stiffness. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works by narrowing the blood vessels, this helps provide relief from congestion and stuffiness of the nose. 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. Caffeine is a stimulant that helps decrease the sleepiness caused by Levocetirizine and increases the effectiveness of paracetamol. Together, CETRILIV AC TABLET helps in treating the symptoms of the common cold and allergy.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Common cold: The common cold is an infection caused by the viruses, mainly 'rhinovirus' affecting your nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). Children younger than 6 years of age are at the most significant risk of cold, but healthy adults can also be affected by having 2-3 colds annually. In most cases, cold symptoms are recovered within a week or ten days. However, symptoms might last longer in people who smoke or are exposed to allergens like dust, pollutants etc. Symptoms of a common cold might include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pain or a mild headache, sneezing, low-grade fever, and feeling unwell (malaise). 

Allergy: This occurs when your body is attacked or invaded by allergy-causing agents known as 'allergens'. These allergens cause the body to release a chemical messenger called 'histamine', which causes inflammation, redness, itchiness, stuffy nose, watery eyes, etc. Allergies can be caused due to chemicals, air pollution, pet danders, pollens of plants and seasonal allergies like hay fever.
