How it works
Dazlev-M 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. It works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
Can I give my child cough and allergy medicine together? Why or why not?

Can I reduce the dose of Dazlev-M Syrup myself if my child starts feeling better? Why or why not?
No. Do not adjust the dosage without consulting your child's doctor. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage as this ensures optimal treatment and prevents adverse effects. Increasing or decreasing the dosage independently can have detrimental consequences, potentially leading to rebound symptoms or other complications.
How should Dazlev-M Syrup be stored? What are some safety precautions?
Dazlev-M Syrup should be kept at room temperature in a dry location, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Always store medicines out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.
Does Dazlev-M Syrup cause drowsiness in children? If so, what are the risks?
Dazlev-M Syrup can cause mild drowsiness in children, which might make them sleepy. However, it's crucial to remember that this medicine should never be used for inducing sleep. Forced sleep could potentially mask underlying sleep disorders like insomnia.

Is it safe for my child with a mood disorder to take Dazlev-M Syrup?
