Livocet MK Syrup 60 ml

Livocet MK Syrup is used in the treatment of allergies. It helps provide relief from various allergic reactions, such as colds, runny nose, sneezing, etc., in children. An allergic reaction is a response that occurs when foreign particles enter the body. This allergic reaction may vary from person to person.

Livocet MK Syrup is an anti-allergic medicine containing Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist, which blocks a chemical messenger (leukotriene) and reduces inflammation and swelling in the nose. Levocetirizine works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger called ‘histamine. This chemical messenger is naturally involved in allergic reactions. Together, this medicine helps to relieve discomfort and unpleasant symptoms, like blocked/runny/itchy nose and red/watery eyes that occur due to allergic conditions.

Livocet MK Syrup may cause certain side effects in your child, such as abdominal pain, headache, cold-like nose symptoms (in children), or diarrhoea (in children). These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your paediatrician.
