Introduction
Lampa-M Oral Suspension 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
Lampa-M Oral Suspension should be used 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
Lampa-M Oral Suspension 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 that works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
Should I administer cough and allergy medications together for my child, who experiences a persistent cough along with allergic symptoms?

Can I adjust the dose of Lampa-M Oral Suspension by myself if my child starts feeling better?
No. Adhere to the dosage as prescribed by your child's doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose independently, as this can negatively impact your child's health.
