About Rupanex M Tablet 10’s

Rupanex M Tablet 10’s belongs to a class of medication called ‘anti-allergic’ medication primarily used to treat allergic symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, congestion, stuffy nose or watery eyes. An allergy is a condition that occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance that is typically not harmful to your body. These foreign substances are known as ‘allergens’ Some might be allergic to certain foods and seasonal allergies like hay fever, pollen, or pet dander. One of the main symptoms of allergy is cough and it acts as a reflex action in the throat when there is any mucus or foreign irritant entry into the respiratory system.

Rupanex M Tablet 10’s is a combination of two drugs: Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist) and Rupatadine (antihistamine). Montelukast belongs to the class of leukotriene receptor antagonists that works by blocking the action of chemicals called leukotrienes released from the lungs, causing inflammation (swelling) and increased mucus production in the airways.

Rupatadine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, congestion, or stiffness.
