Deskast Tablet is used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. It contains Desloratadine and Montelukast, which blocks the action of histamine (chemical causing allergic symptoms) and reduces the allergic reaction. It provides quick relief from allergic symptoms and reduces inflammation and swelling in the nose. It may cause common side effects such as abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, and dry mouth. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
