Here’s a breakdown of the active ingredients and their common uses:

Active Ingredients:

1. Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (120mg): Fexofenadine is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a natural substance in the body that is released during an allergic reaction. By blocking histamine, fexofenadine helps relieve symptoms of allergies, such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, itchy or watery eyes, and itching of the throat or nose.
2. Montelukast Sodium (10mg): Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It is used to manage and prevent asthma symptoms and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies in individuals with asthma. Montelukast helps reduce inflammation in the airways and may prevent symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
