TELEKAST L TABLET 15'S

How TELEKAST L TABLET 15'S Works

• TELEKAST L Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat symptoms of allergy like runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, watery eyes and other allergic symptoms. It also reduces inflammation in the airways and make breathing easier.
• Montelukast, one of the active ingredients in TELEKAST L, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Leukotrienes are substances the body releases when you come into contact with an allergen (such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander). They cause inflammation, bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), and mucus production in the lungs, leading to allergy symptoms and asthma attacks. Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation and preventing airway constriction. This helps to relieve allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes. In asthma, it helps to improve breathing by keeping the airways open.
• Levocetirizine, the other active ingredient, is an antihistamine. Histamine is another substance released by the body during an allergic reaction. It causes many of the common allergy symptoms such as itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Levocetirizine works by blocking the effects of histamine, thereby providing relief from these symptoms. It is a selective H1-receptor antagonist, meaning it specifically targets and blocks the H1 histamine receptors in the body. By blocking these receptors, levocetirizine prevents histamine from binding and causing allergic symptoms.
• The combination of montelukast and levocetirizine in TELEKAST L offers a dual approach to managing allergies and asthma. Montelukast addresses the underlying inflammation and airway constriction associated with leukotrienes, while levocetirizine directly blocks the effects of histamine. This synergistic action provides more comprehensive relief from allergy symptoms compared to using either medication alone. The tablet effectively targets multiple pathways involved in allergic reactions, providing relief from both immediate symptoms and the underlying inflammatory processes.
• Together, these actions help to relieve allergy symptoms and reduce inflammation in the airways, making it easier to breathe. TELEKAST L Tablet is usually prescribed for individuals with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) or asthma, providing relief from their symptoms and improving their quality of life. It is important to take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor to achieve the best results. Consistent use helps in maintaining control over allergy symptoms and preventing asthma exacerbations.
