About Shelmont Tablet

Shelmont Tablet is used to relieve and/or prevent symptoms of allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial). It is also used to treat rhinitis associated with asthma and urticaria. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements, typically not harmful to your body.

Shelmont Tablet 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, Shelmont Tablet provides relief from allergic conditions.

Sometimes, Shelmont Tablet may cause side effects like abdominal pain, skin rash, sleepiness, headache, and fatigue. Most of these side effects of Shelmont Tablet are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
