Description
Levocet M tablet is a combined medication used to treat allergic rhinitis. This condition often causes sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, and overall discomfort during seasonal or ongoing allergies. It contains montelukast and levocetirizine, two anti-allergic agents that work together to block the release of substances responsible for allergic symptoms, providing long-lasting relief.
You should take Levocet M tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not self-medicate or stop the treatment without consulting your physician, even if your symptoms improve. This ensures maximum benefit and prevents the recurrence of allergy symptoms.
Some people may experience side effects such as nausea, headache, dizziness, or fatigue while taking Levocet M. These are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, you should contact your doctor immediately. Because dizziness and sleepiness can occur, it is best to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medicine affects you.
Before starting Levocet M, it is important to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Also, share your complete medical history and details of other medicines you are taking, as this helps avoid potential drug interactions.
Other tablets with the same combination of montelukast and levocetirizine include Montek Lc, Montair Lc, Montina L, Telekast L, and Levozet M. Your doctor may prescribe Levocet M or one of these alternatives, depending on your condition and availability.
