LevoZen M

Composition:

• Levocetirizine 5 mg
• Montelukast 10 mg

Description:

LevoZen M combines Levocetirizine and Montelukast, two powerful agents that help manage allergic reactions and asthma-related symptoms. This combination provides relief from seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, asthma, and other respiratory conditions caused by allergies.

• Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that reduces allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes by blocking histamine, a substance in the body responsible for allergic reactions.
• Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that helps reduce inflammation in the airways and prevents bronchoconstriction, making it highly effective in managing asthma and allergic rhinitis.

LevoZen M is used for the treatment and management of:

• Allergic Rhinitis:
  • Seasonal and perennial rhinitis, characterized by sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and watery eyes.
