Introduction
Illmont Syrup is commonly prescribed in children to treat symptoms of allergy such as runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes. It may also help in the treatment of asthma and skin allergies.
Directions for Use
Never combine Illmont Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Illmont 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 Illmont 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.
How it works
Illmont 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.
