Levocetirizine 5 mg + Montelukast 10 mg Tabs (Swaslevo M 5/10)- GA
₹163.68
The Levocetirizine 5 mg + Montelukast 10 mg tablet is a prescription combination medication used to treat symptoms of allergies and asthma by blocking the chemical messengers histamine and leukotrienes in the body.
Key Information
- Uses: It is primarily indicated for allergic rhinitis (hay fever, seasonal and perennial allergies), which involves symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. It can also help manage chronic hives (urticaria) and reduce airway inflammation in patients with both allergies and asthma. It is not used for treating acute asthma attacks.
- How It Works:
- Levocetirizine (5 mg): An antihistamine that blocks histamine (a chemical released during allergic reactions), which helps relieve sneezing, itching, and a runny nose.
- Montelukast (10 mg): A leukotriene antagonist that blocks leukotrienes (chemicals that cause inflammation and swelling in the airways and nose), which helps improve breathing and reduce congestion.
- Dosage: The typical dosage for adults is one 5 mg/10 mg tablet once daily, usually in the evening, with or without food, or as advised by a doctor. It should be swallowed whole; do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
- Common Side Effects:
- Sleepiness and fatigue
- Dry mouth
- Headache
- Stomach pain, nausea, or diarrhea
Important Precautions
- Medical Supervision: This medication is available by prescription only and should be taken exactly as directed by a healthcare provider. Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if symptoms improve.
- Drowsiness/Driving: Due to potential dizziness and sleepiness, exercise caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
- Alcohol: Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this tablet, as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the components may pass into breast milk and cause toxicity to the baby.
- Other Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, asthma, or epilepsy, as dose adjustments may be necessary or the medication might not be recommended.
- Mental Health Warning: Montelukast has a boxed warning for rare but serious mental health side effects, including agitation, depression, and suicidal thoughts. If you experience any behavioral or mood changes, contact your doctor immediately.
- Allergy Tests: Stop taking this medicine at least three days before an allergy test, as it can affect the test results.
For more specific information on brands, prices, and potential interactions, it is best to consult with a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
