L-Montus Kid

Description

L Montus Kid contains a combination of Levocetirizine and Montelukast. It is indicated for the treatment and prevention of allergic rhinitis, chronic idiopathic urticaria (allergic skin reaction with red raised itchy bumps on skin) and bronchial asthma in adults and in adolescents (aged 15 years or above). It is a very effective and potent medication used in children to treat year-round allergic symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, itching, hives (itchy, painful eruptions that sting), etc.

L MONTUS KID provides relief from the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, asthma and urticaria where levocetirizine acts by blocking the actions of histamines (a substance that cause allergic reaction), at the H1 receptors present on the surface of cells and montelukast acts by blocking the action of leukotrienes D4 (an inflammatory molecule causing narrowing and swelling of the airways) in the lungs, thus causing relaxation of smooth muscle, reduction in swelling and/or inflammation of the airways and a marked decrease in the onset of allergic reactions.

Take L MONTUS KID as advised by your physician. Swallow L MONTUS KID with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine.
