How Skicast-L Tablet works:

Allergy relief is provided by Skicast-L Tablets, a dual-action formulation containing levocetirizine and montelukast. Levocetirizine, an antihistamine, counteracts histamine, a chemical mediator causing allergic symptoms like nasal discharge, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, inhibits the action of leukotrienes, another inflammatory mediator. This dual mechanism reduces airway and nasal inflammation, thus alleviating allergy symptoms.
