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.

is this medicine a steroid or not? If yes then what are its immediate side effects and long term side effects? ## Based on my research, neither medication found in MONTAIR-LC are depicted as steroids. Montelukast is reportedly in a class of medications called leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs). It works by blocking the action of substances in the body that cause the symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Levocetirizine is in a class of medications called antihistamines. These types of medications work by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. It's also important to note that all medications carry the risk of side effects. So by taking this, you should understand that there are risks involved, even if you don't end up exp...
