Key Information
Short Description
Levoler M Syrup is a medication used to treat symptoms of allergy, asthma, and skin allergies in children.
Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Levoler M 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
Consult your child's doctor for proper dosage and usage instructions.
How it works
Levoler 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.
Quick Tips
Never combine Levoler M Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Levoler M 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 Levoler M 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.

Frequently asked questions
My child has a persistent cough along with allergic symptoms. Can I give cough and allergy medicines together?
No. Do not mix cough and allergy medications because they typically contain similar ingredients. Mixing these can result in double dosing of active ingredients, potentially causing serious side effects.
Can I decrease the dose of Levoler M Syrup by myself if my child starts to feel better?
No, adhere to the dose as prescribed by your child's doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose by yourself, as this could negatively affect your child’s health. While increasing the dose may cause unwanted side effects like sedation and depression, decreasing the dose abruptly can lead to rebound reversal of all symptoms.
