HISTAFREE M SYP 60ML

About

HISTAFREE M SYP 60ML is a combination medication containing Fexofenadine and Montelukast. Fexofenadine is a second-generation antihistamine that selectively blocks histamine H1 receptors, providing relief from allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes without causing significant drowsiness. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory mediators involved in the pathogenesis of asthma and allergic rhinitis. By inhibiting leukotriene activity, Montelukast helps to reduce inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus secretion.

This dual-action formulation provides comprehensive relief for both allergic rhinitis and asthma symptoms. The syrup form is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients or those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It addresses both the immediate allergic reactions (histamine-mediated) and the underlying inflammatory processes (leukotriene-mediated), offering more complete symptom control. It is important to use this medication regularly as prescribed, especially for chronic conditions like asthma, to maintain its therapeutic effects and prevent exacerbations.
