Montek LC Tablet is a combination drug intended to treat asthma, seasonal allergies, and other respiratory conditions. Montek LC composition includes two active ingredients: Montelukast sodium and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride. Montelukast belongs to a drug class called leukotriene receptor antagonists, which blocks the action of leukotrienes, chemicals that cause inflammation and swelling in the airways. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical released in response to an allergen.
Montek LC Tablet is available by prescription and should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor. Montek LC prevents asthma symptoms, allergic rhinitis and skin allergies. Montek LC for dry cough is not the first-line treatment. Dry cough can have many causes, such as viral infections, bacterial infections, allergies, or irritants. So a doctor can recommend Montek LC for dry cough only after examining the underlying cause.
The Montek LC is available in tablet form and is typically taken once daily. Montek LC Tablet composition includes 10 mg of Montelukast and 5 mg of Levocetirizine. While Montek 10 mg contains 10 mg of Montelukast sodium salt and is used to prevent asthma symptoms and allergic reactions. Montek 5 mg are chewable tablets for kids, contain 5 mg of Montelukast sodium salt and are used to treat bronchospasm in children.
Follow your doctor's instructions when taking Montek LC, as dosages vary with age and medical conditions such as liver, heart or kidney disease. While giving Montek LC to your child, follow the paediatrician's instructions carefully, as dosages may vary depending on the child’s medical history.
