Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Alltec Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Alltec Tablet is a combination of four medicines: Caffeine, Cetirizine, Paracetamol, and Phenylephrine. Cetirizine is an antiallergic that relieves allergy symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Paracetamol is an analgesic (pain reliever) and an antipyretic (fever reducer) that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and fever. Caffeine is a stimulant that increases the effectiveness of Paracetamol and decreases sleepiness due to Cetirizine. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small blood vessels, providing temporary relief from nasal stuffiness.
