What is it?
Fixdual Film Tablet is a medication that comes in the form of a film-coated tablet. Each tablet contains 5 mg of levocetirizine dihydrochloride and 10 mg of montelukast. It is available in Alu/Alu blister packs, with options of 30, 60, and 90 tablets.
What is it used for?
Fixdual is primarily indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma associated with allergic rhinitis. It provides relief from the symptoms of these conditions, such as nasal congestion, cough, sneezing, and itchy and runny nose.
How does Fixdual work?
Levocetirizine dihydrochloride is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine in the body. Histamine is a chemical that is released in the body during an allergic reaction, causing inflammation and allergic symptoms. By blocking histamine, levocetirizine reduces the symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Montelukast, on the other hand, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are chemicals that cause inflammation in the body, leading to asthma symptoms. By blocking leukotrienes, montelukast improves asthma symptoms and relieves allergic rhinitis.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of Fixdual Film Tablet is one tablet daily, taken orally with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
