Medical Description
Telekast-L tablet is an anti-allergic medicine. It is used for the management of symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as runny & stuffed nose, blockage in airways, sneezing, itching, watery eyes and other symptoms that occur due to allergies. Telekast-L tablet contains a combination of montelukast and levocetirizine as active substances. This medicine works by blocking the production of chemicals responsible for producing allergy symptoms. It also reduces the constriction and swelling of the airways and makes breathing easier.
Allergic rhinitis is an allergic response to allergy-producing substances like pollen, dust or mould.
