Levoprig M Syrup is a medication used to treat symptoms of allergy such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes in children. Levoprig M Syrup is commonly prescribed in children to treat symptoms of allergy such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes. It may also help in the treatment of asthma and skin allergies.
Levoprig M Syrup contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Together these two relieve sneezing and runny nose caused due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic that 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.
Can I combine cough and allergy medication for my child?
No, do not mix cough and allergy medications because they usually both contain similar ingredients. Mixing these can lead to double dosing of active ingredients and potential serious side effects.
Can I adjust the dosage of Levoprig M Syrup on my own if my child shows improvement?
No, do not change the dose of Levoprig M Syrup without consulting your child's doctor. This can impact your child's health as incorrect dosing may cause unwanted effects such as sedation and depression, and sudden dosage reduction might lead to a rebound effect on all symptoms.
