How it works
Zivolin-M Tablet SR is a combination of three medicines: Montelukast, Fexofenadine and Acebrophylline. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist. It works by blocking the action of leukotriene, a chemical messenger. This reduces inflammation in the airways and nose, and improves symptoms of allergies. Fexofenadine is an antiallergic which relieves symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Acebrophylline is a mucolytic which thins and loosens mucus (phlegm), making it easier to cough out.
Quick Tips
Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor even if you feel better. Notify your doctor if you smoke or have a viral infection. Your dose may need to be adjusted. Avoid using antacids within 30 minutes of taking this medicine. It can make it harder for your body to absorb this medication.
