Levocetrizine 5mg+ Mantelukast10mg Tablet Uses, Side effects and More

Uses

Levocetirizine + Montelukast is a combination of two medicines: Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which relieves sneezing and runny nose due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic which blocks a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist. It works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose, and improves symptoms.

Side effects

• Dryness in mouth
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Vomiting

Precautions

• Dry mouth may occur as a side effect. Frequent mouth rinses, good oral hygiene, increased water intake and sugarless candy may help.
• Stop taking Levocetirizine + Montelukast at least three days before taking an allergy test as it can affect the test results.
• Do not drink alcohol while taking Levocetirizine + Montelukast as it may cause increased sleepiness.
