Introduction
Cetmon L Oral Suspension is a medication commonly prescribed for children to alleviate symptoms of allergies, including runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes. It is also beneficial in the treatment of asthma and skin allergies. The medication combines Levocetirizine, an antiallergic that blocks histamine, and Montelukast, a leukotriene antagonist that reduces inflammation in the airways and nose. While effective, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor for any concerns.

How it works
Cetmon L Oral Suspension contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic that blocks histamine, a chemical messenger responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that blocks leukotriene, another chemical messenger, reducing inflammation in the airways and nose, thereby improving symptoms.

Never use it to stop an attack that has already started as it will not help. If you are giving Cetmon L 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.
