Managing the Side Effects:

Telekast-L Kid Tablet combines two active ingredients:

Levocetirizine (2.5 mg): This component acts as a non-sedating antihistamine. It targets certain histamine receptors (H1) in the body and stabilises mast cells, reducing histamine-mediated allergic reactions. This action reduces symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose/throat, and itchy, watery eyes.
Montelukast (4 mg): Montelukast acts as a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It specifically blocks the action of a substance called leukotriene D4 on certain receptors in the lungs and bronchial tubes. This action helps reduce airway swelling, muscle contractions, and inflammation in the airways. As a result, it helps manage asthma symptoms and relieves allergic rhinitis.

Together, these two components provide comprehensive relief from allergic symptoms in children.
