Introduction
Kyvocet M Syrup is a combination of Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which works together to relieve symptoms of allergies, asthma, and skin allergies in children. It is commonly prescribed to treat runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes. It may also help in the treatment of asthma and skin allergies.
Directions for Use
Kyvocet M Syrup should be given to children as directed by the doctor. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully and not to stop the medication without consulting the doctor.
How it works
Kyvocet M Syrup contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which work together to relieve symptoms of allergies, asthma, and skin 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 reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.
Quick Tips
Never combine Kyvocet M Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Kyvocet M Syrup helps prevent asthma attacks. Never use it to stop an attack that has already started. If you are giving Kyvocet M Syrup to your child for asthma or allergy, you need not give another dose to prevent exercise-induced breathing problems. 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, and give plenty of fluids.
