Fexofenadine Hydrochloride IP 120mg + Montelukast IP 10mg

Faxomist-M Tablets by Amista Labs are a combination anti-allergic medication formulated to provide effective and long-lasting relief from a wide range of allergic and respiratory conditions. The tablet contains two well-established active ingredients—Fexofenadine Hydrochloride IP 120 mg and Montelukast IP 10 mg—which work through complementary mechanisms to control allergy symptoms and improve overall respiratory comfort.

Composition and Role of Ingredients

Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (120 mg) is a second-generation antihistamine. It works by selectively blocking peripheral H1 histamine receptors, thereby preventing the effects of histamine released during allergic reactions. Unlike first-generation antihistamines, fexofenadine is non-sedating, meaning it provides relief from allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness or impairment of daily activities.

Montelukast (10 mg) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators that play a key role in allergic rhinitis and asthma by causing airway inflammation, mucus secretion, and bronchoconstriction. By blocking leukotriene receptors, montelukast helps reduce inflammation, nasal congestion, and breathing difficulty, particularly in patients with allergic airway disease.

Therapeutic Uses

• Allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial)

• Sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion

• Chronic urticaria (hives)

• Adjunct therapy in patients with allergy-induced asthma

The dual-action formula ensures comprehensive control of both early-phase (histamine-mediated) and late-phase (leukotriene-mediated) allergic responses.
