Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I, aged 37 years, male, have to take one Montec LC tablet (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) daily during the winter season due to suffering from allergic rhinitis. I feel really well if I take it regularly in this season. Please let me know whether it has any side effects or not. Now, I want to use nasal spray instead of the medicine I am using. Kindly prescribe me the medicine.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern. As you said that you are having allergic symptoms in the winter season and you are using Levocetirizine with Montelukast, you are taking good medicine but all the medicines have side effects. As far as this drug is concerned, there is a wide safety margin. But if you are having allergic features in the nose only then steroidal nasal spray will be a better choice with the least side effect.
