MONTELUKE F 

Montelukast (10mg), Fexofenadine (120mg)

MONTELUKE F combines two potent medications, Montelukast (10mg) and Fexofenadine (120mg), designed to provide comprehensive relief from allergic symptoms. This combination is particularly effective in managing seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). 

What is MONTELUKE F?

MONTELUKE F is a dual-action medication that targets allergic reactions through two mechanisms. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, which blocks substances in the body called leukotrienes that cause allergy symptoms. Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body, which can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Montelukast (10mg)

Montelukast, the active ingredient in MONTELUKE F, is primarily used to prevent asthma attacks and manage allergies. It works by blocking leukotrienes, which are chemicals the body releases when you breathe in an allergen such as pollen. By preventing these chemicals from attaching to cells in the lungs and in the bloodstream, Montelukast helps reduce asthma symptoms and prevents bronchoconstriction.

Fexofenadine (120mg)

Fexofenadine, the other active component, is a second-generation antihistamine that provides relief from allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness, a common side effect in older antihistamines.

Uses of MONTELUKE F

MONTELUKE F is prescribed for:

  1. Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever): Relief from sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and other symptoms associated with hay fever.
  2. Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria: Reduction of hives and the relief of itching associated with chronic hives.
  3. Asthma Management: While primarily used for allergic symptoms, Montelukast in MONTELUKE F also aids in the long-term management of asthma by preventing bronchospasm and improving breathing.
