My daughter who is 12 years old has been asked to take montair lc (cipla)(Montair-Lc Montelukast 10 mg, Levocetirizine hydrochloride 5 mg) once a day for 2 months and after that when needed for her allergy problem. Is it safe to take the drug for such a longer duration? Are there any side affects of the same?

Hello,
It is my pleasure to help you,
You can give this medicine as long as recommended by your doctor even if you feel better.
This drug is considered as medication for long-term control of asthma.
Like any other medicine it also has side effects, but the advantage over weighs the side effects.
Most common side effects are increased bleeding behaviour, Mood related changes, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and drowsiness.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thank you.
