How it works
Odimont LC Kid Tablet is a combination of Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of a chemical substance called histamine which is responsible for causing allergic symptoms. Montelukast acts by blocking the response of a chemical substance and reduces swelling in the airways. Thus, it eases breathing and also relieves the symptoms of allergy.
