MONTOR-LC TABLETS

DESCRIPTION:
Montor-LC is a combination of Montelukast Sodium and Levocetirizine. Montelukast Sodium is a selective and orally active leukotriene receptor antagonist that inhibits the cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT1), receptor. Levocetirizine is a third-generation non-sedative antihistamine, developed from the second-generation antihistamine Cetirizine. Chemically, Levocetirizine is the active enantiomer of Cetirizine.

PACKING:

COMPOSITION:
Each uncoated tablet contains:

MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Montelukast inhibits bronchoconstriction due to antigen challenge. Montelukast is a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist of the cysteinyl leukotriene CysLT1 receptor. The cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC 4, LTD 4, LTE 4) are products of arachidonic acid metabolism that are released from various cells, including mast cells and eosinophils. Levocetirizine works by blocking histamine receptors. It does not prevent the actual release of histamine from mast cells but prevents binding it to its receptors. This in turn prevents the release of other allergy chemicals and increased blood supply to the area, and provides relief.
