Montivib Oral Suspension

Quick info

Montivib Oral Suspension is a medication used to treat symptoms of allergy, asthma, and skin allergies in children. Montivib Oral Suspension 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.

How it works

Montivib Oral Suspension 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 that works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.

Direction of use

Montivib Oral Suspension should be used as directed by your child's doctor. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and not to stop the medication without consulting your doctor.

Tips

• Never combine Montivib Oral Suspension with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects.
• Montivib Oral Suspension helps prevent asthma attacks. Never use it to stop an attack that has already started as it will not help.
• If you are giving Montivib Oral Suspension to your child for asthma or allergy, you need not give another dose to prevent exercise-induced breathing problems. In case of any confusion, consult your child's doctor as soon as possible.
• Make sure that you always have enough medicine.
• Practice self-care tips: Abstain your child from coming in contact with allergens, encourage your child to wear a face mask and avoid dusty places, give plenty of fluids as it helps in thinning and loosening the mucus in the lungs.
