Mode of Action of MONTEK LC STRIP OF 10 TABLETS
How Does It Work?
- Montek LC works by the combined action of both its components - Montelukast and Levocetirizine.
- Montelukast blocks the action of certain natural substances called leukotrienes, which are responsible for allergies. It reduces swelling, relaxes airways and makes breathing easier.
- Levocetirizine blocks the action of histamine, a natural substance, which is produced by the body during allergic reactions and hence helps in relieving allergic symptoms.
