Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, she can take montek LC tablet along with antihypertensive, cholesterol and diabetes drugs.
Montek LC is having combination of montelukast (anti allergic) and levocetrizine(anti histamine).
Both are safe with above me drugs.
Usually these drugs are safe for long term use.
Normal duration of montek LC is 6-8 months.
In my opinion, along with this (montek LC), you should also get take intranasal spray containing steroids (fluticasone). You are mostly having allergic rhinitis and steroid spray is the best treatment for this.
So discuss with your doctor about starting this spray.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
