Montina-L Tablet is a prescription medication that is commonly used to manage allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and watery eyes. This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it is essential to follow your doctor's guidance regarding the exact dosage and duration of treatment. The dosage may vary depending on the individual’s medical condition, age, response to the treatment, and other underlying health issues. Patients are strongly advised to continue the medication for the entire course prescribed by their healthcare provider, even if they begin to feel better after a few days. Stopping the treatment prematurely may cause symptoms to return and may even worsen the underlying condition. It is also important to inform your doctor about any other medicines you may be taking at the time—whether prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or supplements—as some medicines can interact with Montina-L and alter its effectiveness or cause adverse reactions.
During the course of treatment with Montina-L Tablet, some individuals may experience mild to moderate side effects. These can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dryness of mouth, headache, and skin rashes. In some cases, patients may feel flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, or fatigue. These side effects are usually short-lived and tend to resolve on their own as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if any of these symptoms become persistent or cause concern, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately. One should also be aware that this medicine can cause drowsiness and dizziness in some patients. For this reason, it is advisable to avoid activities that require full mental alertness such as driving, operating heavy machinery, or making important decisions until you are certain how the medicine affects your body. Consuming alcohol while on this medication can further increase the risk of sleepiness and should be strictly avoided.

Montina-L Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which relieves sneezing and runny nose due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic which blocks a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist. It works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose, and improves symptoms.
