How Levocetirizine + Montelukast works

  • Levocetirizine is an antiallergic medicine that works by blocking histamine H1 receptors. Histamine is a chemical in your body that causes allergy symptoms like a runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. By preventing histamine from acting on these receptors, Levocetirizine helps relieve these common allergy symptoms.
  • Montelukast is a medication that blocks chemicals called leukotrienes. These chemicals can make your airways narrow and cause inflammation, leading to asthma and allergy symptoms. By blocking leukotrienes, Montelukast helps to reduce swelling in your airways and nose, which improves asthma and allergy symptoms.
