OKACET – L

Description

OKACET-L is a widely prescribed anti-allergic medication from Cipla Ltd. that combines two active ingredients: Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (an antihistamine) and Montelukast Sodium (a leukotriene receptor antagonist). This dual-action formulation provides comprehensive relief from various allergic conditions by blocking both histamine and leukotrienes, two key chemicals responsible for allergy symptoms.

Key Benefits:
