Monticope
Monticope is a prescription combination medication containing Levocetirizine (an antihistamine) and Montelukast (a leukotriene receptor antagonist). Levocetirizine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance in the body that causes allergic reactions, thereby reducing symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, reducing inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages and airways to make breathing easier.
