How Vivakast-LC Tablet works:

Allergy relief is provided by Vivakast-LC Tablets, a dual-action formulation containing levocetirizine and montelukast. Levocetirizine, an antihistamine, counteracts histamine – a substance triggering allergic symptoms like nasal discharge, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, inhibits the action of leukotrienes, inflammatory mediators. This dual mechanism reduces airway and nasal inflammation, thereby alleviating allergy symptoms.
