Composition of Drug
◉This is an antihistamine drug ie levecetirizine 2.5 mg + montalukast 4 mg .
How does the Drug work
◉Levecetirizine 2.5 mg is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical that is responsible for causing allergic reactions. It binds to histamine receptors in the body, preventing histamine from binding and causing symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching.
◉ Montelukast 4 mg is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are chemicals that contribute to inflammation and narrowing of the airways in conditions such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. It binds to the receptors for leukotrienes, preventing them from binding and causing symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.
◉ When taken together, levecetirizine and montelukast work in different ways to reduce the symptoms of allergies and asthma, making it a combination therapy. Levecetirizine blocks the action of histamine, reducing symptoms such as sneezing and itching, while montelukast blocks the action of leukotrienes, reducing symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath. This combination therapy helps to provide more effective relief of symptoms than taking each medication alone.
