Desdine-M Tablet

Desdine-M Tablet is a combination medication containing Desloratadine (5mg) and Montelukast (10mg), used to treat allergic conditions like hay fever and mild asthma. Desloratadine is an antihistamine that provides relief from sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose by blocking histamine. Montelukast helps reduce inflammation in the airways by blocking leukotrienes, substances responsible for allergic and asthma symptoms. Together, they offer effective and long-lasting relief from both nasal and respiratory allergic reactions.
