DESCRIPTION
Telekast-L Tablet is an antihistaminic medicine used in the treatment of allergies. It helps provide relief from various allergic reactions, such as cold, runny nose, sneezing, etc. An allergic reaction is a response that occurs when foreign particles enter the body. This allergic reaction may vary from person to person.
Telekast-L Tablet is an anti-allergic medicine containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist, which blocks a chemical messenger (leukotriene) and reduces inflammation and swelling in the nose. Levocetirizine works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger called ‘histamine. This chemical messenger is naturally involved in allergic reactions. Together, this medicine helps to relieve discomfort and unpleasant symptoms, like blocked/runny/itchy nose, and red/watery eyes that occur due to allergic conditions.

Works
TELEKAST L TABLET contains two medicines namely, levocetirizine and montelukast.
- Levocetirizine: It is an antihistamine that blocks the action of histamine, a chemical released by the immune system during an allergic reaction. By blocking histamine, it reduces symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
- Montelukast: It is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks the action of leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, swelling, and constriction of the airways. This helps in reducing airway inflammation and controlling asthma symptoms, as well as treating allergic rhinitis.
Together, this combination provides relief from allergy symptoms while also controlling asthma attacks and reducing inflammation in the airways.
