How M Tek LC Tablet 10's Works

M Tek LC Tablet 10's contains two active ingredients that work together to stop allergy symptoms in their tracks. The first active ingredient, levocetirizine, is an antihistamine. It blocks histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction that causes itching, runny nose, and watery eyes. The second active ingredient, montelukast, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It blocks leukotrienes, which are chemicals that cause swelling, narrowing, and mucus buildup in your airways. Together, these two ingredients soothe irritation in both your nose and chest.
