Abstract :
Allergic conditions and asthma significantly impact the quality of life and require effective managementstrategies.
Montelukast sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, and Fexofenadine HCL, a second-generation antihistamine, are
widely used in allergy and asthma treatment. Their combination offers a dual mechanism of action that targets both
histamine and leukotriene-mediated pathways, providing enhanced symptom relief. This review explores the
pharmacological properties, clinical efficacy, safety profile, and potential benefits of this combination therapy. It highlights
its role in improving respiratory function and controlling allergic reactions with minimal adverse effects.
Keywords :
Montelukast Sodium, Fexofenadine HCL, Allergy Management, Asthma Treatment, Combination Therapy.
