Mechanism of Action

Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that works by blocking histamine receptors in the body. Histamine is a chemical released during allergic reactions, which causes symptoms like itching, sneezing, and runny nose. By blocking histamine receptors, Levocetirizine helps alleviate these symptoms.

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) that blocks the action of leukotrienes, which are chemical messengers involved in allergic reactions. By blocking leukotrienes, Montelukast helps reduce inflammation and congestion in the airways.
