Introduction
Levozet 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
Levozet M Syrup should be used as directed by the doctor. It is important to follow the dosage instructions carefully.
How it works
Levozet 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 combine cough and allergy medications for my child?
No, do not mix cough and allergy medicines because they typically contain similar ingredients. This could lead to double dosing of the active components, potentially causing serious side effects.
Can I adjust the dosage of Levozet M Syrup on my own if my child is feeling better?
No, follow the prescribed dosage as determined by your child's doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose by yourself. Incorrect dose adjustments can negatively impact your child's health. While increasing the dose may cause unwanted side effects like sedation and depression, decreasing the dose abruptly can lead to a rebound of symptoms.
