Overview

Montelukast is a Leukotriene receptor antagonists.(is used for maintenance treatment of asthma and to relive symptoms of seasonal allergies) It is a selective and orally active leukotrien antagonist that inhibits the cysteinyl leukotrien CysLT1 receptor.
Levocetirizine is a third generation non sedative antihistamine.(is prevents the release of other allergy chemicals and increased blood supply to the area, and provides relief from the typical symptoms of hay fever). Levocetirizine, the R-entaiomer of Cetirizine, is a potent and selective antagonist of peripheral H1 receptors. It has been demonstrated by recent studies concomitant administration of an antileukotrien (montelukast) and an antihistamine (levocetirizine), shows significantly better symptoms relief compared with the modest improvement of rhinitis symptomatology with each of the treatments alone.
