About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Montecip LC Tablet is a prescription medication that combines the benefits of levocetirizine and montelukast in a single formulation. This product is indicated for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria, perennial allergic rhinitis, and asthma. The tablet contains 5mg of levocetirizine, a histamine H1 receptor antagonist, and 10mg of montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. The combination of these two active ingredients provides comprehensive relief from symptoms such as pruritus, angioedema, and respiratory problems. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine on H1 receptors, thereby reducing the release of chemical mediators that contribute to allergic reactions. Montelukast, on the other hand, inhibits the action of leukotrienes, which are potent bronchoconstrictors and pro-inflammatory mediators. The tablet is available in a convenient once-daily dosage and has a well-established safety profile, making it a valuable option for patients requiring long-term treatment for allergic and respiratory disorders.
