Introduction
Montevive Oral Suspension is a medication primarily used in children to alleviate symptoms of allergies, including runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes. Additionally, it is beneficial in managing asthma and skin allergies. The medication combines Levocetirizine, an antiallergic that blocks histamine, and Montelukast, a leukotriene antagonist that reduces inflammation in the airways and nose. While effective, it is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider for any concerns or side effects.

Administer the prescribed dose of Montevive Oral Suspension to your child as directed by the healthcare provider. Do not combine with other cold and flu medicines. Ensure the child avoids allergens and stays hydrated.
How it works
Montevive Oral Suspension contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Levocetirizine blocks histamine, a chemical messenger responsible for allergy symptoms like runny nose and sneezing. Montelukast blocks leukotriene, another chemical messenger, reducing inflammation in the airways and nose.
Quick Tips
Never combine Montevive Oral Suspension with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Montevive Oral Suspension helps prevent asthma attacks. Never use it to stop an attack that has already started as it will not help. If you are giving Montevive Oral Suspension 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.
