About Lestar AM Tablet

Lestar AM Tablet is used to treat symptoms of a common cold, such as a runny nose, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, and a blocked nose. The common cold is an infection of the nose and throat caused by viruses. Common cold symptoms include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, congestion, mild body pain, mild headache, sneezing, low-grade fever, and feeling unwell (malaise).

Lestar AM Tablet contains paracetamol, levocetirizine, ambroxol, and phenylephrine. Paracetamol blocks chemical messengers that cause pain and fever.
