Introduction

Histafree-M Tablet is used to relieve symptoms of allergies and hay fever, such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching. It combines **Levocetirizine** (an antihistamine) and **Montelukast** (a leukotriene receptor antagonist), both of which work together to reduce allergic reactions. This medication is effective in treating allergic rhinitis, asthma, and other allergic conditions, improving overall breathing and reducing discomfort.
