Aramol-M Tablet

Overview

Aramol-M Tablet is a medication prescribed to manage various general health conditions. It contains two active ingredients: Montelukast (10mg) and Fexofenadine (120mg). Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that helps in reducing inflammation and congestion, while Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that alleviates allergic symptoms. The tablet is manufactured by Syndicate Life Sciences Pvt Ltd.
