LAZINE M TABLET 10'S

How LAZINE M TABLET 10'S Works

• LAZINE M TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis and related allergic conditions. Its effectiveness stems from the synergistic action of its two active ingredients: levocetirizine and montelukast. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine, and montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Together, they address different pathways involved in allergic reactions, providing comprehensive relief.
• Levocetirizine works by selectively blocking histamine H1 receptors. Histamine is a chemical mediator released by the body during an allergic reaction. When allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander enter the body, they trigger the release of histamine. Histamine then binds to H1 receptors in various tissues, leading to typical allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. By blocking these receptors, levocetirizine prevents histamine from exerting its effects, thus reducing or eliminating these symptoms. Unlike older antihistamines, levocetirizine is less likely to cause drowsiness because it has a lower tendency to cross the blood-brain barrier.
• Montelukast, on the other hand, targets leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are another group of inflammatory chemicals released during an allergic reaction, particularly in the airways. They contribute to symptoms like bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), mucus production, and inflammation, all of which can make breathing difficult. Montelukast works by selectively blocking the action of leukotrienes by binding to cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT1) receptors in the lungs and other tissues. This prevents leukotrienes from binding to these receptors and causing inflammation and airway constriction. By blocking leukotrienes, montelukast helps to reduce inflammation in the airways, open up the airways, and reduce mucus production, making it easier to breathe. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with asthma or allergic rhinitis that affects their breathing.
• The combined action of levocetirizine and montelukast provides a more complete approach to managing allergic conditions compared to using either medication alone. Levocetirizine addresses immediate histamine-related symptoms, while montelukast targets the later-phase leukotriene-mediated inflammation. This dual mechanism of action makes LAZINE M TABLET 10'S effective in controlling a wide range of allergic symptoms, improving overall quality of life for individuals suffering from allergies. It is typically prescribed for conditions such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), perennial allergic rhinitis (year-round allergies), and asthma exacerbated by allergies. The medication is usually taken once daily, as directed by a healthcare professional, to provide continuous relief from allergy symptoms.
