1. Fexofenadine Hydrochloride — 120 mg

Fexofenadine is a second-generation H1 antihistamine.

It blocks the action of histamine, helping reduce:

• Sneezing

• Runny nose

• Itchy nose/throat

• Watery or itchy eyes

• Itching and hives (urticaria)

It is generally much less sedating than older antihistamines, although some people can still experience dizziness or drowsiness.

2. Montelukast Sodium — 10 mg

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA).

It blocks leukotriene D4 receptors, helping reduce:

• Allergic nasal inflammation

• Nasal congestion

• Wheezing/airway inflammation in appropriate patients

• Symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis

It is not a rescue medicine for an acute asthma attack.

Why the two medicines are combined

The combination provides two different approaches to allergy control:

Fexofenadine → blocks histamine
Montelukast → blocks leukotrienes

Therefore, the combination may be prescribed for conditions such as allergic rhinitis and chronic urticaria, and in some patients with allergy-associated respiratory symptoms. Accott's listing specifically identifies allergic rhinitis, chronic urticaria and asthma among the indications. (Tradeindia)

Important safety

• Montelukast: Important neuropsychiatric effects can occur in some people, including changes in mood or behavior, sleep disturbances, anxiety or suicidal thoughts. Contact a doctor promptly if significant behavioral or mood changes occur.

• Fexofenadine: Avoid taking it together with aluminium/magnesium-containing antacids at the same time because they can reduce fexofenadine absorption; spacing them apart is generally recommended.

• Do not automatically add another antihistamine or montelukast-containing medicine without medical advice.
