Introduction
Ventair Syrup is a medication primarily used in children to alleviate symptoms of allergies, including runny nose, sneezing, itching, swelling, congestion, and watery eyes. It is also beneficial in managing asthma and skin allergies. The syrup contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which work together to block chemical messengers responsible for allergic reactions and inflammation. While effective, it is important to use this medication as prescribed and consult a healthcare provider for any concerns.
Directions for Use
Use Ventair Syrup as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Measure the dose accurately using a medical spoon or cup. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
How it works
Ventair Syrup contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic that blocks histamine, a chemical messenger responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that blocks leukotriene, reducing inflammation in the airways and nose, thereby improving symptoms.
Quick Tips
Never combine Ventair Syrup with other cold and flu medicines as that may have side effects. Ventair 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 Ventair 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.
