How Does It Work?
- Montelukast blocks certain natural substances called leukotrienes, which may cause allergies. It reduces swelling, relaxes airways and helps to make breathing easier.
- Levocetirizine 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 the Montair-LC tablet helps in relieving the symptoms of allergic rhinitis or hay fever.
