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...

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.

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?

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 ...

I have been taking Xyzal (levocetirizine dihydrochloride) along with ornidazole 500mg + ofloxacin 200mg for four days now to treat a UTI. I have also been on diamox and slow-k., along with drulatan and brimopress eye drops for my open-angle glaucoma. However, my eye pressure just keeps increasing since I started the treatment for the urinary tract infection. Could any of the antibiotics or the levocetirizine be causing it? Thanks.

Montelukast + Levocetirizine tablets have been prescribed for white patches and itching on my skin. Kindly advise me on whether it is ok to follow through with this treatment? ## They can be taken together to treat allergic reactions. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and dry mouth. The concern, however, is the white patches, since that might not be indicative of an allergic reaction. Can you post back and clarify what they look like? When did you start experiencing them? There are various other issues that might cause such symptoms, including yeast infections, and dermatitis.
