How Does It Work?

Bilastine blocks the action of a natural substance called histamine. Histamine is produced by the body during the event of an allergic reaction.
The combined action of these two components present in Montelukast+Bilastine helps in relieving the symptoms of allergic rhinitis or hay fever.
