Membrina-L (Montelukast 10mg and Levocetirizine 5mg) are two different medications that are sometimes prescribed together to treat allergic conditions.
Montelukast is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as leukotriene receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory molecules that contribute to the symptoms of allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions. By reducing inflammation in the airways, Montelukast helps to improve breathing and reduce symptoms.
Levocetirizine, on the other hand, is an antihistamine that helps to reduce the symptoms of allergies by blocking the action of histamine, a chemical released by the body in response to allergens. Histamine can cause symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and a runny nose, and Levocetirizine helps to alleviate these symptoms by blocking the histamine receptors.
When used together, Montelukast and Levocetirizine can provide more comprehensive relief of allergy symptoms than either medication alone. However, as with all medications, it is important to take them as prescribed by a healthcare professional and to follow their instructions for use.
It is also important to note that Montelukast and Levocetirizine are not suitable for everyone, and it is important to talk to a healthcare professional before taking these medications if you have certain medical conditions or are taking certain other medications. Additionally, while these medications can be effective in reducing allergy symptoms, they do not cure allergies or prevent them from occurring in the future.
