What is this medicine?
MONTAS L Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Montelukast and Levocetirizine.

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that helps reduce inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and allergy symptoms.
-
Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors to relieve allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itching.
This medicine is commonly used to treat allergic rhinitis, hay fever, and in some cases, asthma symptoms.
