Work
This medicine is a combination of levocetirizine and montelukast. They belong to the class of antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist. Thus it works via dual mechanism.
Firstly, it selectively inhibits the peripheral H1 receptors thereby reducing the histamine levels in the body. And secondly, it antagonizes the action of leukotriene. It specifically acts on allergies caused in the stomach and intestine, blood vessels and airways leading to the lung.
