Monovate Lotion effectively reduces symptoms such as swelling, itching and redness associated with such conditions.

Monovate Lotion works by decreasing the inflammation caused by allergies. It reduces inflammation by blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause allergic symptoms such as swelling, redness and pain.
