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.

Montelukast helps prevent asthma symptoms and improve breathing by blocking the effects of leukotrienes.
