Introduction
Tikliv-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
Tikliv-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.

If you are giving Tikliv-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 is experiencing a persistent cough alongside allergic symptoms. Can I administer cough and allergy medicines together?
No. Do not combine cough and allergy medications as they often contain similar ingredients. This may lead to double dosing of active components, potentially causing serious side effects.
Can I reduce the Tikliv-M Syrup dosage on my child's own if their condition improves?
No, adhere to the prescribed dose as directed by your child's healthcare provider. Do not increase or decrease the dosage independently as this can negatively impact their health. While increasing the dosage may lead to unwanted effects like sedation and depression, decreasing the dosage or abruptly discontinuing it could result in a rebound of all symptoms.

Tikliv-M Syrup should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep all medicines out of reach and sight of children to prevent accidental intake.
