How Dekast-M Products work
Desloratadine + Montelukast is a combination of two medicines: Desloratadine + Montelukast1 and Desloratadine + Montelukast2, which treats sneezing and runny nose caused due to allergies. Desloratadine + Montelukast1 is an antiallergic which blocks the action a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing.
