Ebastine + Montelukast

Introduction

Ebastine + Montelukast is a combination medicine commonly prescribed for managing allergic conditions such as hay fever, runny nose, sneezing, and asthma-related symptoms. It combines the effects of Ebastine, an antihistamine, and Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, to provide long-lasting relief. This medicine helps improve breathing, reduce allergic responses, and enhance overall comfort for people dealing with seasonal allergies and chronic asthma.
