Description
MONTEGEN LC is a combination medication designed to manage allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergies, and asthma. It contains Montelukast Sodium (10mg), a leukotriene receptor antagonist, and Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (5mg), an antihistamine, which work together to control both respiratory symptoms and allergic reactions.
Montelukast Sodium (10mg): Montelukast is a key component in managing asthma and allergic rhinitis. By blocking the action of leukotrienes—chemicals responsible for causing airway inflammation and constriction—Montelukast helps to reduce symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion. It also prevents asthma attacks, helping to manage chronic lung conditions over the long term.
Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (5mg): Levocetirizine is a non-sedating antihistamine that works by blocking histamine receptors, which are responsible for allergic symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, Levocetirizine causes minimal drowsiness, allowing for daytime use without impairing alertness.
Together, MONTEGEN LC provides a dual action for the relief of allergy symptoms and the prevention of asthma exacerbations. It is ideal for individuals who suffer from seasonal allergies, perennial allergic rhinitis, or asthma, offering both symptomatic relief and long-term management of airway inflammation.
