Ambroxol is used in the treatment of allergic disorders and the symptoms it can cause

Ambroxol　is used known as an antihistamine, it works by blocking histamine receptors and increasing the breakdown of mucus.Ambroxol works by selectively inhibiting the H1 histamine receptors therefore preventing histamine from acting on its receptors Ambroxol helps to alleviate the symptoms caused by hay fever or other allergies (such as a runny nose and watery eyes). Ambroxol has secretolytic properties, and it works by reducing the viscosity (thickness) of mucus, allowing for more of it to be removed from the body.

Levocetirizine helps to alleviate the symptoms caused by hay fever or other allergies (such as a runny nose and watery eyes). Levocetirizine works by reducing the viscosity (thickness) of mucus, allowing for more of it to be removed from the body.

Dizziness,
Headache,
Hives,

Hypersensitivity reaction,
Stomach pain,
Vomiting

Menthol is used in the treatment of itching, dermatitis and eczema.

Menthol works by activating the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin. Menthol, causes a feeling of coolness due to stimulation of cold receptors by inhibiting Ca++ currents of neuronal membranes. Menthol may also yield analgesic properties via kappa-opioid receptor agonism.

Some of the potential side effects of Menthol can include the symptoms below;

Balance disorder,
Vomiting,
Altered heart rate,
Drowsiness,
Hypersensitivity reaction,
