How Does It Work?
Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine, the chemical responsible for sneezing, runny nose, and itching. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks leukotrienes, substances that cause inflammation and swelling in the airways and nose. Together they provide more complete relief from allergic rhinitis symptoms.
