Does Montair LC Cause Headache And Weight Gain And What Is The Alternative Medication?

I have been prescribed to take Montair LC - one tablet at bedt time. This is for avoiding the symptons of asthma. I do suffer from allergic / wheezing during season change. Saw some side effects of Montair LC like headache and weight gain. Is there any substitute of Montair LC which has least side effects?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having allergic reaction for which your doctor has prescribed Montair LC,
All the medicines will have side effects but we are using the medicines because the use of the drug over weighs the side effect.
Similarly this is a excellent drug which can be used for longer duration with minimal side effect and the side effects you have asked are the least side effects of Montair LC.
Thank you.
I find this answer helpful
