Bonkast-L Tablet is an antihistaminic medicine produced by SRR Medical, used to manage allergies effectively. It provides relief from various allergic reactions, such as cold, runny nose, sneezing, and other symptoms caused by allergens. Allergies occur when the body reacts to foreign substances, and the severity may vary from person to person.

Bonkast-L Tablet is a combination medicine containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast, a leukotriene antagonist, blocks a chemical messenger (leukotriene) to reduce inflammation and swelling in the nose. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical messenger involved in allergic reactions. Together, these ingredients help alleviate symptoms like a blocked/runny/itchy nose and red/watery eyes caused by allergies.
