Description
ALLEGRA M is an antihistamine and leukotriene receptor antagonist combination medication used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Fexofenadine works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms, while Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, which are chemicals that cause inflammation and mucus production in the airways. This combination effectively alleviates symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, and nasal congestion.
