Product introduction
Histafree M Tablet pairs two allergy-fighting ingredients, fexofenadine and montelukast, in a single once-daily tablet. It's typically reserved for allergic rhinitis that doesn't fully settle with an antihistamine alone, adding a leukotriene blocker to widen the coverage. The combination targets both the histamine and leukotriene pathways that drive nasal congestion, sneezing and itchy eyes. It's a prescription-only medicine meant to be taken under a doctor's guidance for as long as advised.
Storage: Store below 30°C in the original pack, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
