About Desonex M 5mg/10mg Tablet

Desonex M 5mg/10mg Tablet belongs to the class of medications ‘antiallergic’ used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is an allergic response to certain foods or pollen, pet dander, or other allergens.  Allergic condition varies from person to person. It is typically characterized by allergic symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, red, watery, itchy, and swollen eyes.

Desonex M 5mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Desloratadine and Montelukast.
