Introduction

Luvent-LC 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.

Luvent-LC Syrup is a medication that should be used as directed by a doctor. It is important to follow the dosage instructions and not to combine it with other cold and flu medicines.

Side Effects

No common side effects listed.

Luvent-LC 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 that works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.

Never combine Luvent-LC Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Luvent-LC 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 Luvent-LC 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.
