How Montek LC Tablet Works
Montek LC Tablet contains two active ingredients: Levocetirizine and Montelukast.
- Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine, a chemical that causes allergy symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, and runny nose.
- Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that works by blocking leukotrienes, chemicals that cause inflammation and swelling in the airways and nose, helping to reduce congestion and ease breathing.
Together, these ingredients work to relieve allergic symptoms and reduce inflammation, improving comfort and respiratory function.
