ECOKAST L TABLET 15'S

How ECOKAST L TABLET 15'S Works

• ECOKAST L Tablet is a combination medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis and asthma. It combines the actions of two active ingredients: Montelukast and Levocetirizine.
• Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA). Leukotrienes are inflammatory chemicals that the body releases in response to allergens and other triggers. These chemicals cause inflammation, bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), and mucus production in the lungs, leading to asthma symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. In allergic rhinitis, leukotrienes contribute to nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and itching. Montelukast works by selectively blocking the leukotriene receptors, specifically the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT1) receptors in the airways and immune cells. By blocking these receptors, montelukast prevents leukotrienes from binding and exerting their effects. This helps to reduce inflammation, relax the airways, and decrease mucus production, thereby alleviating asthma and allergy symptoms.
• Levocetirizine is an antihistamine. Histamine is another chemical mediator released by the body during an allergic reaction. It binds to histamine receptors, primarily H1 receptors, in various tissues, causing symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Levocetirizine is a potent H1 receptor antagonist. It selectively binds to H1 receptors and blocks the action of histamine. By blocking histamine, levocetirizine prevents the cascade of allergic symptoms. This results in reduced itching, sneezing, and nasal discharge, providing relief from allergic rhinitis symptoms.
• The combined action of montelukast and levocetirizine provides a synergistic effect in managing allergic rhinitis and asthma. Montelukast addresses the leukotriene pathway, reducing inflammation and bronchoconstriction, while levocetirizine targets the histamine pathway, alleviating immediate allergic symptoms. This dual mechanism of action offers comprehensive relief from allergy and asthma symptoms, improving overall respiratory function and quality of life. ECOKAST L Tablet effectively controls both the underlying inflammation and immediate allergic reactions, making it a valuable treatment option for individuals with these conditions.

This medication can interact with other drugs, potentially affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Specifically, pay attention to medications that affect liver enzymes, as these can alter the metabolism of montelukast and levocetirizine.
