Levocetrizine Tablets 5 mg
Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets (5mg, 10mg) and Syrup (5mg/5ml) is a second-generation piperazine H1-antihistamine and active carboxylated metabolite of hydroxyzine on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It selectively antagonizes peripheral H1 receptors, blocking histamine-induced wheal, flare, capillary permeability, and sensory nerve activation, while also inhibiting late-phase cutaneous and bronchial eosinophil recruitment. Indicated for relief of symptoms associated with seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and chronic idiopathic urticaria.
Montelukast Sodium 10mg + Levocetirizine 5mg Tablets
Montelukast Sodium (4mg/10mg) and Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (2.5mg/5mg Tablets, Syrup, with or without Ambroxol SR 75mg) is a premier dual-action antiallergic and anti-inflammatory combination on the WHO Model List framework. Montelukast is a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLT1) antagonist that blocks the bronchoconstricting, mucus-secreting, and eosinophil-recruiting actions of LTD4. Levocetirizine is an active R-enantiomer second-generation H1-antihistamine that blocks histamine-mediated itching, sneezing, and vascular permeability. Together, they simultaneously block both early-phase (histamine) and late-phase (leukotriene) allergic inflammatory cascades.
