How Zulokast LC Tablet works:

Zulokast LC Tablets combine levocetirizine and montelukast to alleviate allergic symptoms such as sneezing and nasal discharge. Levocetirizine, an antihistamine, counteracts histamine, a chemical mediator causing nasal congestion, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, inhibits the action of leukotrienes, another inflammatory mediator. This dual action reduces airway and nasal inflammation, thereby providing symptomatic relief.
