How Do Montelukast and Fexofenadine Tablet Work?

Fexofenadine is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical that is released during an allergic reaction. By blocking histamine, fexofenadine helps reduce allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, watery eyes, and stuffy nose.

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. This drug works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, substances produced by the body during an allergic or inflammatory reaction. Leukotrienes narrow the passage of airways and cause inflammation in diseases like asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montelukast helps prevent asthma symptoms and improve breathing by blocking the effects of leukotrienes.
