LEVISH-M

Levish-M (Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride & Montelukast Sodium Tablets) works by combining the effects of two powerful agents that relieve allergy symptoms. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine, a natural substance responsible for allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itching. Montelukast, on the other hand, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that prevents the action of leukotrienes, chemicals that cause airway inflammation, swelling, and tightening in the lungs. Together, these ingredients provide long-lasting relief from both nasal and respiratory allergic reactions, improving breathing comfort and overall well-being.

Levish-M is indicated for the treatment and prevention of allergic conditions such as seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), perennial allergic rhinitis, chronic urticaria (hives), and asthma-related breathing difficulties triggered by allergens. It helps relieve symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, watery eyes, and itching in the nose or throat. The medicine is also beneficial for individuals who experience both nasal and bronchial allergies at the same time.

The dosage of Levish-M should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily in the evening, with or without food. The dose may vary depending on the patient’s age, medical condition, and response to therapy. Swallow the tablet whole with water and avoid crushing or chewing it. Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting your healthcare provider.

Storage: Store Levish-M in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Common Side Effects: Some patients may experience mild side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, headache, or abdominal discomfort. These usually subside as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if you notice any persistent or severe effects, contact your doctor immediately.

Do not take Levish-M if you are allergic to Levocetirizine, Montelukast, or any of the components in this formulation. Patients with liver or kidney disorders, or those with a history of psychiatric conditions such as anxiety or depression, should use this medicine with caution. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel drowsy after taking Levish-M. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medicine only under medical advice.

Drug–Drug Interactions: Levish-M may interact with certain medications such as phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampicin, and other sedatives, which can reduce its effectiveness or increase drowsiness. Always inform your doctor about all prescription, non-prescription, and herbal products you are currently using to avoid possible interactions.

Drug–Food Interactions: Levish-M can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time every day for best results. Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication, as it can enhance drowsiness and reduce alertness.

Drug–Disease Interactions: Patients with liver impairment, kidney disease, or psychiatric conditions should use Levish-M under close medical supervision. Your doctor may adjust the dosage or monitor your condition regularly to ensure safe and effective use.
