ALLERCET M TAB

About

ALLERCET M TAB is a combination medication that brings together Cetirizine, a second-generation antihistamine, and Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Cetirizine works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 receptors, effectively alleviating symptoms of allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose, with minimal sedative effects. Montelukast targets leukotrienes, which are potent inflammatory mediators involved in the pathogenesis of asthma and allergic rhinitis, thereby reducing inflammation and bronchoconstriction. This dual action provides comprehensive relief for both allergic symptoms and underlying inflammatory processes, making it a highly effective treatment for managing various allergic and asthmatic conditions.
