How it works
A2D 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 that works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.
Quick Tips
Never combine A2D Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. A2D Syrup helps prevent asthma attacks. Never use it to stop an attack that has already started as it will not help. If you are giving A2D Syrup 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can I give cough and allergy medicine together if my child has a persistent cough along with allergic symptoms?
No, it's not recommended to mix cough and allergy medicines as they often contain similar ingredients. This can lead to double dosing of the active ingredients, potentially causing serious side effects.
Can I adjust the dose of A2D Syrup if my child starts feeling better?
It's best to stick to the prescribed dosage for your child and not increase or decrease it on your own. Adjusting the dose can impact their health, and suddenly stopping the medication can lead to rebound reversal of all symptoms.
How should A2D Syrup be stored?
Store A2D Syrup at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all medications out of reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.
Can A2D Syrup cause sleepiness in my child?
Yes, A2D Syrup can cause mild drowsiness, but never give it to your child to induce sleep. Forced sleep could mask underlying sleep disorders like insomnia.
Should I start the course of A2D Syrup if my child is an athlete and has a sports event in two days?
No, consult with your child's doctor before starting A2D Syrup, especially since it can cause mild sedation, dizziness, and sleepiness, which may impact their performance.
Can I stop the medicine by myself if my child has been taking A2D Syrup?
No, suddenly stopping A2D Syrup can lead to rebound reversal of all symptoms. It's advised to stop this medication gradually under your child's doctor's guidance.
Is it safe to give A2D Syrup to a child with a mood disorder?
Some studies show that A2D Syrup can cause mood disorders, hallucinations, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, shakiness, and trouble controlling body movements. Consult your child's doctor before giving any medication.
Can I use A2D Syrup to treat acute asthma attacks in my child?
A2D Syrup should only be used to prevent asthma attacks. Use your child's reliever medicine to help with an attack that has already started.
