My son frequently catches colds. Our doctor has suggested he take one Levokast Kid Tablet daily for six months. Monticope, which contains Montelukast and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride, is used to treat the symptoms of colds and allergies. Are there any side effects associated with these medications? ## Hi Anubrato , sorry to hear about your son. As to possible side effects, remember that each child is different, and there is a good chance that he will not experience any of the side effects. With that said, here are some possible listed ones from the drug information: For Montelukast, side effects may include digestive system disturbances, headaches, hypersensitivity, trouble sleeping, and increased bleeding tendency, aside from many other generic adverse reactions. Drowsiness is also a c...

What is Levocet used for? ## From what I was able to gather Levocet is not a medication from the US. Although I did locate the active ingredient which is Levocetirizine. Levocetirizine is a third-generation non-sedative antihistamine, developed from the second-generation antihistamine cetirizine.

I am suffering from chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) since 2005 and taking Levocetirizine 5mg every alternate day. Is there any possibility of serious side effect as i am taking it for long time? Levocetirizine or Ebastine which one will be the better choice for long-term use in CIU? ## What has your doctor advised? There are always risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, including the possibility of organ damage, such as that which may occur to the liver, since most medications are processed through it. As to which one may be better, it is hard to say, because they all carry the possibility of risks. Only you and your doctor can decide what is right and carries the least risk for you. You can learn more about both of them here: ## Thanks Verwon for your reply. none...

Are you on any other medications?

I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING FROM ALLERGY ON MY FACE FOR WHICH I HAVE BEEN GIVEN MOTRE-L TABLETS. I HAVE ALREADY DONE A COURSE OF 10 DAYS AND STILL NO RESPONSE IS VISIBLE AND NOW MY DOCTOR HAS GIVEN ME IT FOR NEXT TEN DAYS. OTHER THAN THIS I WAS RECOMMENDED BELAR-FORTE FOR 2 DAYS . IT HELPED TO A CERTAIN EXTENT BUT MY ALLERGY REAPPEARED AFTER THAT.PLEASE HELP ## Hi, Swati! Do you have any idea what's causing the allergy? Figuring that out and eliminating the culprit would be the best solution. It must be something that you became exposed to around the time of the first reaction and keep being exposed to. Have you been eating or drinking anything new? Are you using a new soap or hygiene product?

Does Montelukast Levocetirizine Zykast cause mouth sores and night sweats? I'm very curious about it. ## Ive been taking the generic of xyzal for about 20 days +/-. Coincidental to this or not I also have developed a canker sore in my mouth- never had before and the inside of my cheeks are temp sensitive. Healing some maybe but in am worse & I take nightly. I thought it was something else but this is the only new med in my life so I was googling around to see if anyone else has had a similar problem- ? No night sweats but this raw inside cheek;sores is not good.

Is there any issue trying for a child while I'm a regular user of Levocetrizen 5mg tablets? ## No, but once pregnancy occurs, make sure to check with your doctor about whether or not you should continue the medication.

What has been improved so dramatically since May that the price for generic Xyzal (for the uninsured) rose from $82 to $94? ## I am sorry, but since this site doesn't manufacture, nor sell any medications, I can't answer that question. The price can vary, at any given time, depending on the area you live in, the pharmacy you use and the price they had to pay for it. Have you tried other pharmacies to see if there is a cheaper price available?

I have had a severe throat infection for the past 5 years. Consulted an ENT and he prescribed one tab of Levocet daily for a month. My question is, since I have been on antidepressant tablets for 3 years, is it ok to try Levocet for a short period of time?

what actually this medicine is?? for which purpose it is prescribed?? ## Levocetirizine is an antihistamine, side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and headache. Montelukast is used to treat asthma and allergies. The side effects are, therefore, very similar. DO you have any other questions?

Learn more Cetirizine details here. Which has your doctor advised you to use? ## Does Montelukast or Levocetirizine contain steroids? ## Is it levocet d 5mg tablet is steroid containing drug

Sir, I have been taking Montelukast Sodium and levoctrizine dihydro chloride since few months as I feel relieved from allergy which used to cause cold and caugh.Although I feel fine now and want to quit this tablet now .Please suggest me on how to quit .I feel drowsiness which is having negative effect on my work .Please help me . ## This medication is not habit forming, so you don't need to taper off of it, or anything. However, stopping abruptly may cause some rebound sinus congestion, as reported by the U.S. FDA, but that should go away within a week, or so. Drowsiness can be a normal side effect of antihistamines, sometimes it gets so severe you can't stay awake to do anything. Are you on any other medications?

I was just prescribed Xyzal by an ENT doctor for my chronic sinus problems and for what he believes are allergy symptoms. The script says to take daily in the evening. Do I have to take this medication every day forever. Can I just take it like other people take antihistamines only when they feel they need them? This was a one time trip to the ENT so I don't want to call and haggle with him over this. ## The reason you are usually told to take it every day is for prevention of the allergy symptoms, but not it isn't really necessary to do so. Learn more Levocetirizine details here. However, if you've been having such sinus problems, then prevention is probably a very good idea, it will keep you from experiencing new symptoms and give time for your body to cover from the ones ...
