Montihist Pineapple 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.
Montihist Pineapple 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.
Montihist Pineapple 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. Montihist Pineapple Syrup should be taken as advised by your doctor. Do not give more than the prescribed dose of Montihist Pineapple Syrup to the child. Montihist Pineapple Syrup can be given with or without food. The dose of the medicine will be decided by your paediatrician depending on the type and severity of the infection.
Montihist Pineapple Syrup is intended for paediatric use only. Avoid giving Montihist Pineapple Syrup to your child if she/he is allergic to any of the components present in the formulation. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including his current medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions.
