Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Montek-LC contains Montelukast 10 mg and Levocetirizine dihydrochloride
5 mg.
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. Because of its mode of action, it is not useful for the treatment of acute asthma attacks.
Levocetrizine is anti-histaminic drug.

You can take this drug for a long period without much side effects.
However, in dry seasons you can stop this drug for some time and resume again in winter season or seasons which are more prone for allergies.

Hope the information provided would be useful
Wish you good health.
