Hicet Ax Bottle Of 60ml Syrup
Description
Hicet Ax syrup is a cough and cold preparation. It is used to treat a cough with mucus. It also provides relief from allergic symptoms, such as itching, sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, cough, congestion, and watery eyes. It contains ambroxol and cetirizine as its active ingredients.
Hicet Ax syrup acts by preventing the release of a substance called histamine responsible for allergic conditions. It also works by loosening the mucus, thus easing breathing. Hicet Ax syrup may cause dizziness; therefore, exercise caution when driving or operating heavy machinery. Also, avoid smoking and exposure to dust and pollution.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Hicet Ax syrup contains a combination of ambroxol and cetirizine as its active ingredients.
- Cetirizine inhibits the allergic symptoms produced by histamines (a certain chemical substance that is released by the body).
- Ambroxol acts as a mucolytic agent. It works by loosening/thinning up the mucous in the respiratory passages and makes the mucous less sticky. Thus, it helps in removing the cough from the body.
- The combined action of these ingredients helps in relieving cough and congestion.
