How Does It Work?

• Lefast D tablet contains a combination of phenylephrine and levocetirizine as active substances.
• Phenylephrine causes constriction of the blood vessels of the nose, which helps to relieve the nasal blockage.
• Levocetirizine blocks the action of a substance called histamine that is responsible for causing allergic symptoms. It also prevents the release of other allergy-causing substances in the body and provides relief.

• Some medicines can affect the way Lefast D tablet works or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
