Introduction
Ceriz-L Mont Syrup is a combination medicine used to alleviate allergic symptoms like runny nose, stuffy nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, watery eyes, and congestion. It also helps reduce inflammation in the airways, making breathing easier. The syrup combines Levocetirizine, an antiallergic that blocks histamine, and Montelukast, a leukotriene antagonist that reduces inflammation by blocking leukotriene. While generally safe, it can cause side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, and dry mouth. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor for any concerns, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Measure it with a measuring cup and take it by mouth. Shake well before use. Ceriz-L Mont Syrup may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Ceriz-L Mont Syrup is a combination of two medicines: Levocetirizine and Montelukast. 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), reducing inflammation in the airways and nose, and improving symptoms.
