MonTel-F

Composition:

• Montelukast 10 mg

Description:

Montel - F is a combination tablet containing Montelukast and Fexofenadine, two potent medications used to treat allergic conditions. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, and Fexofenadine is an antihistamine, working together to alleviate symptoms of allergies and respiratory conditions.

• Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, narrowing of airways, and other allergy symptoms.
• Fexofenadine helps by blocking histamine, a substance responsible for allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and watery eyes, without causing drowsiness.
