Missed a Dose

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Montair LC Tablet works by the combined action of its two components: montelukast and Levocetirizine.
Montelukast blocks certain natural substances called leukotrienes, which may cause allergies. It reduces swelling, relaxes airways, and helps make breathing easier.
Levocetirizine blocks histamine, a natural substance that is produced by the body during allergic reactions.

Interactions

Interactions with other drugs

Effect

Both diazepam and levocetirizine act on the brain and may intensify each other's sedative effects.

Advice

Caution is advised. Avoid activities that require mental alertness (e.g., driving) and inform your doctor if you feel very drowsy or unsteady.

Effect

Phenytoin may lower montelukast levels, reducing its effectiveness in managing breathing or allergy symptoms.

Advice

Your doctor may monitor your asthma/allergy symptoms and consider a dose change if needed.

Effect

May reduce montelukast levels in the body by about 40%, making it less effective in controlling asthma or allergies.

Advice

If you're using montelukast and phenobarbital together, your doctor may consider adjusting your dose or monitoring your symptoms more closely.

Effect

Rifampicin can speed up the breakdown of montelukast in your body, reducing its effectiveness.

Advice

Let your doctor know if your allergy or asthma symptoms worsen. They may adjust your montelukast dose or suggest an alternative.

Effect

Ritonavir may increase the levels of cetirizine in the body by about 40%, which could lead to more sedation or drowsiness.

Advice

If you're taking ritonavir, your doctor may monitor for increased side effects like sleepiness or dizziness. Avoid driving or operating machinery if affected.

Effect

The clearance (removal from the body) of cetirizine (related to levocetirizine) was slightly slowed, but theophylline’s effect was unchanged.

Advice

Generally safe to use together. No dose adjustment is usually needed, but let your doctor know if you notice unusual tiredness or restlessness.

Effect

Although it’s a strong enzyme blocker, itraconazole does not significantly change montelukast levels in the body.

Advice

Generally considered safe to use with montelukast. Let your doctor know if you're on long-term antifungal therapy.

Interactions with food items

Montair LC Tablet can be taken with or without food. Food does not significantly affect the absorption or effectiveness of the medication. However, to minimise the risk of stomach upset, it may be taken after meals if needed.
