Montewok-LC Syrup is a medicine that helps manage various conditions related to allergies and respiratory issues, specifically designed for paediatric use. It is commonly used to alleviate symptoms of hay fever, seasonal allergies, and allergies caused by dust mites, animal dander, and mould.

This syrup also provides relief from symptoms of hives like itching and rash. Additionally, it helps in preventing wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and coughing caused by asthma in adults and children.

Montewok-LC Syrup is administered orally in the form of a syrup and the dosage should be determined by your doctor based on factors like age, weight, and condition.

Montewok-LC Syrup can be used to manage various health issues. Here are some common uses and brief explanations:

Allergic rhinitis: Inflammation of the nasal lining causing symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes.
Chronic idiopathic urticaria: Hives with an unknown cause, resulting in itchy and red welts on the skin.
Bronchial asthma: A chronic condition causing inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness.

Consult your child's doctor for the appropriate dose based on their age, weight, and condition.
Use the provided measuring cup to ensure accurate dosage.
Administer the syrup orally as directed by the doctor.
If your child experiences any side effects or if symptoms persist or worsen, consult the doctor immediately.

Oral

When giving Montewok-LC Syrup to your child, there are some potential side effects you should be aware of. They are as follows:

Upper respiratory tract infections: Your child may experience symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, and cough.
Fever: Your child might develop an elevated body temperature.
Cough: Your child may experience bouts of coughing.
Dry mouth: Your child's mouth may feel dry and parched.
Headache: Your child might experience mild to moderate headaches.
Sleepiness: This medicine can make your child feel drowsy.

Managing the Side Effects:

To help manage the side effects of Montewok-LC Syrup without taking additional medicines, you can try these natural remedies for your child:

For upper respiratory tract infections: You can give them rest, plenty of fluids, and try steam inhalation to soothe congestion.
For fever: Keep your child hydrated, dressed lightly, and use a cool compress to bring down their temperature.
For cough: Give them warm fluids like honey and lemon tea or use a saline gargle to soothe their throat.
For dry mouth: Make your child sip water regularly and avoid caffeine and alcohol.
For headaches: Apply a cold compress to your child's forehead or practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing.
For sleepiness: Give them short naps if needed.

Montewok-LC Syrup contains two active ingredients: levocetirizine and montelukast.

Levocetirizine blocks the actions of histamines in the body that are responsible for allergic reactions, thus reducing inflammation and providing relief from symptoms such as sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes.

On the other hand, montelukast blocks the actions of leukotrienes in the airways, which helps reduce swelling, inflammation, and muscle constriction.

This leads to improved breathing and relief from symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis. It's important to consult your doctor for proper guidance on the use of Montewok-LC Syrup for your specific condition.

Pregnancy

The product is meant for paediatric use and should be used in pregnancy only if clearly needed, on the doctor's advice.

Breastfeeding

While levocetirizine is found to be present in human breast milk, it is not known if montelukast is excreted in human milk. Therefore, the medicine should be used on the doctor's advice only.

Liver

If your child has a liver disease or impaired liver function, use Montewok-LC Syrup only as per your paediatrician's advice, as it may affect the way their liver processes the medication.

Kidney

Montewok-LC Syrup is not recommended for children with severe kidney impairment and should be used with caution in children with impaired kidney function or kidney disease.
