BENEFITS:
- Relieves symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
- Helps prevent and control asthma symptoms.
- Reduces inflammation and relieves allergy symptoms by combining the effects of both montelukast and fexofenadine.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks substances called leukotrienes. Leukotrienes cause narrowing and swelling of airways in the lungs and also cause allergy symptoms.
- Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
- The combination helps in providing a comprehensive approach to managing and alleviating allergy and asthma symptoms.
