Product Overview

Montemac-L Syrup combines two anti-allergic ingredients with different actions. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine, while Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. A doctor may prescribe this combination when both ingredients are considered appropriate for managing allergy-related symptoms.

Doctor-Advised Uses

The exact reason for prescribing this medicine may vary from one patient to another. Use it only for the condition for which it has been prescribed.

How the Ingredients Work

• Levocetirizine: An antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a natural substance involved in symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose and watery eyes.
