About Odimont-FX Tablet 15’s

Odimont-FX Tablet 15’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.

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 in the respiratory system.

Odimont-FX Tablet 15’s is a combination of two drugs, namely Montelukast (leukotriene receptor antagonist) and Fexofenadine (antihistamine).
