How it works
Monfit-L 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.
Quick Tips
Never combine Monfit-L Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Monfit-L 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 Monfit-L 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
Can I combine cough and allergy medications for my child?
No. Do not mix cough and allergy medicines because they usually both contain similar ingredients. This may result in double dosing of the active ingredients, thereby causing serious side effects.
Can I reduce Monfit-L Syrup dosage on my own if my child feels better?
No. Adhere to the dose as prescribed by your child's doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose by yourself as this can impact your child's health. While increasing the dose may cause unwanted effects like sedation and depression, decreasing the dose or stopping it abruptly can result in rebound reversal of all symptoms.

Monfit-L Syrup should be stored at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Additionally, keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid accidental intake.
Will Monfit-L Syrup make my child sleepy?
Monfit-L Syrup causes mild drowsiness, which can make your child sleepy. However, do not use this medicine to induce sleep. Forced sleep could mask any underlying sleep disorder like insomnia.
Can I start the Monfit-L Syrup course if my child has a sports event in two days?

Monfit-L Syrup is only intended for preventing asthma attacks and should not be used as a treatment for an ongoing attack. Use your child’s reliever medicine to help with an attack that has already started.
