About Lekast KMD Tablet

Lekast KMD Tablet is an antihistaminic medicine used in the treatment of allergies. It helps provide relief from various allergic reactions such as cold, runny nose, sneezing, etc., in children. An allergic reaction is a response that occurs when the foreign particles enter the body. This allergic reaction may vary from person to person.
