Medical Description
Monticope tablet is a medication used to treat allergic rhinitis. It can alleviate various symptoms of the condition, including runny or stuffy nose, congestion, sneezing, itching, watery eyes and other allergic symptoms. This tablet contains montelukast and levocetirizine, which work together to block the production of chemicals that cause allergies and reduce inflammation in the airway, making breathing easier.
Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is an inflammation or swelling inside the nose caused by allergens. To ensure the best results, take Monticope tablet as directed by your doctor, following the correct dosage and duration of the treatment. Swallow the tablet with water, with or without food, and preferably at bedtime as advised by your doctor.
A few other tablets with montelukast and levocetirizine as their composition are Levozet M tablet, Telekast L tablet, Montina L tablet, Montair Lc tablet, and Montek Lc tablet.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, and provide information about all other medications, supplements, and health conditions you have. While taking Monticope tablet, rinse your nose regularly to clear allergens from your nasal passage. As a precaution, avoid exposure to allergens that you know or suspect are triggering your allergy.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Monticope tablet works by the combined action of both its components: Montelukast and Levocetirizine.
- Montelukast works by blocking certain natural substances called leukotrienes, which may cause allergies. It reduces swelling, relaxes airways and helps to make breathing easier.
- Levocetirizine works by blocking histamine, a natural substance, which is produced by the body during allergic reactions.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Monticope tablet contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Hence, any interaction which is seen with any of these two components, when taken alone may occur with this combination too.
- Medicines used to treat fits or epilepsy like Phenytoin, medicines used to treat tuberculosis like Rifampicin should be used with caution along with this medicine.
- Concomitant use of Monticope tablet along with medicines used to treat anxiety or sleeplessness (CNS depressants) like Phenobarbital should be used cautiously.
