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...

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...

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.

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 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?

My doctor prescribed "L-Montus Flash", but I accidentally used "L-Montus". Is there any problem with this? ## The basic difference between L-Montus and L-Montus Flash is the technology used in manufacturing: Both L-Montus and L-Montus flash contain Levocetrizine and Montelukast. But in L-Montus flash the technology is flash disintegration technology (FDT) which helps provide faster relief and faster onset of action: In allergic rhinitis L-Montus flash provides relief in a flash. In India L-Montus flash is the only tablet that's offering this technology.

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?
