MONLEVO TABLET 10'S

How MONLEVO TABLET 10'S Works

• MONLEVO TABLET 10'S is a combination medicine designed to alleviate symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis and asthma. It contains two active ingredients: Montelukast and Levocetirizine.
• Montelukast works by selectively blocking the action of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are naturally occurring chemicals in the body that contribute to inflammation in the airways and nasal passages. They are released by mast cells and eosinophils, which are types of white blood cells involved in allergic reactions and asthma. When leukotrienes bind to their receptors, they cause airway constriction, mucus production, and inflammation. By blocking these effects, Montelukast helps to reduce airway inflammation, making it easier to breathe and reducing asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. In the context of allergic rhinitis, Montelukast can help reduce nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose caused by allergic reactions to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.
• Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, another chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. Histamine is responsible for many of the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Levocetirizine specifically targets the H1 histamine receptors, preventing histamine from binding and triggering these allergic symptoms. Unlike some older antihistamines, Levocetirizine is less likely to cause drowsiness, making it a preferred option for individuals who need to stay alert during the day.
• In summary, MONLEVO TABLET 10'S combines the anti-leukotriene effects of Montelukast with the antihistamine effects of Levocetirizine to provide comprehensive relief from the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma. Montelukast addresses airway inflammation and mucus production, while Levocetirizine targets histamine-related symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose. This dual action helps to improve breathing, reduce nasal congestion, and alleviate overall discomfort associated with these conditions.

• If you miss a dose of MONLEVO TABLET, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

• Keep MONLEVO TAB 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store MONLEVO TAB 1X10 at room temperature.

• Take MONLEVO TABLET 10'S exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not alter the dosage or frequency without consulting them. Consistent adherence to the prescribed regimen optimizes its effectiveness in managing your allergy or asthma symptoms. This ensures a steady level of medication in your system for best results.
• MONLEVO TABLET 10'S is most effective when taken at the same time each day. Establishing a routine, such as taking it with your evening meal or before bed, helps you remember and ensures consistent absorption. This consistency is crucial for maintaining symptom control, especially for nocturnal asthma or allergy symptoms that worsen at night.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking before starting MONLEVO TABLET 10'S. Montelukast and levocetirizine can interact with other substances, potentially affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. Common interactions include certain antibiotics, antifungals, and medications that depress the central nervous system. A thorough review helps prevent adverse reactions.
• If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, such as mood changes, persistent headaches, vision problems, or allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), contact your doctor immediately. While MONLEVO TABLET 10'S is generally well-tolerated, individual reactions can vary. Promptly reporting any concerning symptoms allows for timely evaluation and adjustment of your treatment plan.
• MONLEVO TABLET 10'S is designed to manage symptoms of allergies and asthma, but it's not a rescue medication for acute attacks. Always carry your prescribed rescue inhaler (for asthma) or epinephrine auto-injector (for severe allergies) and know how to use them. MONLEVO helps prevent symptoms but won't provide immediate relief during a sudden flare-up.

• It is important to note that MONLEVO TABLET 10'S should not be taken with certain fruit juices, such as grapefruit juice, as they may affect how the medication is absorbed in the body. Therefore, it is best to avoid drinking grapefruit juice while your child is taking MONLEVO TABLET 10'S.
