Description
Breaze-L KID Tablet DT is a paediatric combination medicine used for the management of allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and chronic cough with breathing difficulties. It contains Levocetirizine (an anti-allergic) and Montelukast (a leukotriene receptor antagonist), which together reduce allergic symptoms, airway inflammation, and breathing discomfort in children.
