L MONTUS SYP 60ML

About

L Montus Syrup is a synergistic combination medication comprising Levocetirizine and Montelukast, designed for the comprehensive management of allergic and respiratory conditions. Levocetirizine, a third-generation antihistamine, selectively blocks peripheral H1-receptors, thereby effectively alleviating classic allergic symptoms such as sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and ocular pruritus. Montelukast, a potent leukotriene receptor antagonist, specifically inhibits the action of cysteinyl leukotrienes, which are key inflammatory mediators involved in bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, and airway edema. This dual mechanism of action provides robust relief from both seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms and plays a crucial role in the prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma, including exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, by reducing airway inflammation and improving pulmonary function.
