About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Montegress LC 5mg/10mg Tablet is a combination medication containing levocetirizine (5mg) and montelukast (10mg). It is a twice-daily, once-daily administration of antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist, respectively, designed to provide relief from allergic symptoms and asthma. The tablet is used to treat patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria, acute allergic reactions, and seasonal allergic rhinitis. Levocetirizine, the antihistamine component, blocks histamine receptors, thereby reducing symptoms such as itching, hives, and runny nose. Montelukast, the leukotriene receptor antagonist, inhibits the action of leukotrienes, a type of chemical mediator involved in allergic inflammation, thereby reducing bronchoconstriction, wheezing, and coughing. The combination of these two active ingredients provides synergistic effects, leading to improved patient outcomes. Montegress LC 5mg/10mg Tablet is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to either levocetirizine or montelukast, and should be used with caution in patients with liver dysfunction or those taking other medications that may interact with the active ingredients.
