About Montlevo Syrup 30 ml

Montlevo Syrup 30 ml is used to treat allergic conditions such as hay fever and asthma in children. It helps alleviate symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. An allergic reaction is a response that occurs when foreign particles enter the body.

Montlevo Syrup 30 ml contains Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast blocks a chemical messenger called leukotriene, helping to reduce inflammation and swelling in the nose. Levocetirizine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for allergic symptoms. Together, Montlevo Syrup 30 ml provides relief from allergic conditions.

Sometimes, Montlevo Syrup 30 ml may cause side effects such as abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, and fatigue. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.

Avoid giving Montlevo Syrup 30 ml to your child if she/he is allergic to any of the components present in the formulation. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including their current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions.
