ABOUT MONTEK LC TABLET

MONTEK LC Tablet belongs to the class of antihistamines or anti-allergic drugs and is used to treat symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and allergic skin conditions resulting from various allergies and hay fever. Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to typically harmless foreign elements called allergens. Symptoms can vary from person to person and may include reactions to certain foods, pollen, pet dander, or other seasonal allergens. One common symptom is a cough, which acts as a reflex when irritants enter the respiratory system.

Montek LC Tablet combines two active ingredients: Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Levocetirizine, an antihistamine, blocks the effects of histamine, a chemical involved in allergic reactions, alleviating symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that blocks leukotrienes, reducing inflammation and swelling in the nose. Together, these components help relieve allergic symptoms and improve overall comfort.

The tablet should be taken as prescribed by a doctor, with or without food. The dosage depends on the patient’s condition and response to the medication. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, dry mouth, headache, skin rash, flu-like symptoms, and fatigue. These side effects are generally temporary and resolve over time. If side effects persist, consult a doctor.

Montek LC Tablet should not be taken if you are allergic to levocetirizine or montelukast, or if you have severe liver or kidney problems or epilepsy. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications. Avoid self-medication and do not suggest this medicine to others. It is also important to avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it can increase drowsiness.

For effective use, continue the medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms improve early. Stopping treatment too soon may cause symptoms to return or worsen. Drink plenty of fluids while on this medication and inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking, as there may be interactions. Avoid driving or activities requiring mental focus until you know how Montek LC Tablet affects you.
