Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that helps reduce symptoms of allergies like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes, while Montelukast works as a leukotriene receptor antagonist to prevent asthma attacks and reduce inflammation in the airways. This combination offers an easy solution for managing allergy and asthma symptoms in children.
