LEVOCETIRIZINE DIHYDROCHLORIDE 5 MG + MONTELUKAST 10 MG

Introduction :

This combination of Levocetirizine 5 Mg + Montelukast 10 Mg medication is commonly prescribed for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and allergic asthma. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that helps relieve symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny or stuffy nose, and watery eyes. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that helps in managing asthma symptoms by reducing inflammation and constriction of the airways.

Indication :

Levocetirizine 5 Mg + Montelukast 10 Mg tablet is indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, which is characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny or stuffy nose, and watery eyes. Levocetirizine helps to relieve these symptoms by blocking the action of histamine, while Montelukast helps to reduce inflammation in the airways, leading to improved nasal congestion and other allergy-related symptoms. Levocetirizine and Montelukast work together to alleviate asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness by reducing airway inflammation and constriction, making it easier to breathe and improving overall lung function.

Administration :

Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water. They can be taken with or without food.

Storage :

Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.

Mechanism of Action :

Levocetirizine: Blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms, by selectively antagonizing the H1 receptor. Montelukast: Inhibits the action of leukotrienes, which are chemicals in the body that contribute to inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production in the airways, thereby reducing asthma and allergic symptoms.
