Mode of Action

Combination of these two medicine helps to stop sneezing and runny nose caused due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic medication that blocks a chemical messenger  named histamine which is  responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist. It works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.
