Desloratadine + Montelukast

Uses

How it Works

How Desloratadine and Montelukast work Desloratadine and Montelukast is a combination of two medicines: Desloratadine and Montelukast, which treats sneezing and runny nose caused by allergies. Desloratadine is an antiallergic that blocks the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that works by blocking the action of another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.
