How LEVOMEXA-M TM Works
Levocetirizine Hydrochloride is an antihistamine. It helps reduce the effects of histamine, which plays a role in allergic reactions. Therefore, it may help relieve common allergy symptoms.
Montelukast Sodium works by blocking leukotriene receptors. Leukotrienes can contribute to inflammation and allergy-related symptoms.
As a result, the two ingredients may help manage allergic symptoms through different mechanisms. However, individual responses can vary.
