CAR OD TABLET consists of a combination of two medicines: cetirizine and ambroxol which is primarily used in the treatment of cough. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens’. Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever. While others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander. One of the symptoms of allergy is cough. Coughing occurs as a reflex action in the throat when there is mucus or any other foreign irritant in it.

Cetirizine belongs to a class of drugs called antihistamine or anti-allergic. It blocks the effects of a chemical messenger known as ‘histamine’ which is naturally involved in 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 that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.

CAR OD TABLET is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. In some cases, you may experience tiredness, sleepiness, dry mouth etc. Most of these side effects of CAR OD TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. 

Consume only if the doctor prescribes it. Never encourage self-medication or suggest your medicine to someone else. Inform your doctor before taking CAR OD TABLET if you are allergic to cetirizine or ambroxol, or have severe liver or kidney problems, have epilepsy. Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or currently breast-feeding or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.

When you take Cetirizine in CAR OD TABLET, it provides temporary relief from allergic reactions and symptoms, by blocking histamine action (a substance that causes immune responses & inflammations in the body). It helps to provide relief from symptoms of allergy such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion or stiffness. Ambroxol, also has a mucolytic action which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.
