Lekost Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat allergic symptoms such as runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, watery eyes, and congestion or stuffiness. Lekost Tablet is a combination medicine used in the treatment of allergic symptoms such as runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, watery eyes and congestion or stuffiness. It also reduces inflammation in the airways and makes breathing easier.
Lekost Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which relieves sneezing and runny nose due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic which blocks a chemical messenger (histamine) 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.

Levocetirizine is an antiallergic that helps relieve allergy symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes, and cough by lowering chemicals in the body that cause these symptoms. Montelukast blocks another chemical messenger (leukotriene) and reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose, further relieving the symptoms.
