Description
Minolast-LC Tablet is an anti-allergic medicine that helps relieve common allergy symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, itching, and airway blockage. It contains two active ingredients, montelukast and levocetirizine, which work together to provide quick and long-lasting relief from allergic conditions, such as hay fever, allergic rhinitis, and chronic urticaria (hives). By blocking the release of chemical substances in the body responsible for allergic reactions, this medicine helps you breathe more comfortably and feel better.
The combination of montelukast and levocetirizine makes Minolast-LC Tablet effective not just for seasonal allergies, but also for year-round symptoms. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that reduces sneezing and itching, while montelukast works by preventing airway swelling and inflammation. This makes it particularly helpful in cases where allergies trigger asthma-like symptoms.
Minolast-LC Tablet is usually recommended to be taken at bedtime, as it may cause drowsiness in some people. You can take it with or without food, as advised by your doctor. It is essential to take this medicine regularly for optimal results and not to discontinue it suddenly without consulting a doctor, especially if it is prescribed for long-term allergy control.
Like all medicines, Minolast-LC Tablet may cause some side effects. Common ones include headache, drowsiness, stomach pain, dry mouth, or fatigue. These are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience mood changes, persistent abdominal pain, or breathing difficulties, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Minolast-LC Tablet is not recommended for children below 6 years of age, patients with severe kidney disease, or those undergoing dialysis. Always inform your doctor about your medical history and any other medicines you are taking before starting Minolast-LC. By using it as prescribed, you can effectively manage allergy symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.
