How it works
Montelukast acts by blocking the response of certain specific chemicals that cause allergic reactions in the body. Fexofenadine reduces the concentration of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic responses in the body. Their combination is thus better effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis.
