Frequent cold, sneezing and cough. Took Montek LC. Suffering from stomach pain and digestion problems. Side effects?
Patient: hello sir/mam.... i have an allergy since a year... frequent cold, sneezing ... so i went to ent specialist , he prescibed me tab montek-LC, so after 2-3 days my cold , cough, sneezing is gone.... but after a week, i have having severse stomach pain, digestion problem and even getting more and more sleep day time.... so is it the side effect of tab Montek LC or wat... ?? Doctor: Hi Thanks for your query Yes gastric irritation occurs in case of motelukast after prolonged use and probably that is causing your stomach pain and digestion problem and sleepiness probably is occuring from levocetrizine component of the montek-LC medicine. So if your symptoms are well controlled now you can omit this drug now. Better to go for local application of azelastine fluticasone nasal spray now after consulting your doctor. For stomach pain you need to take local anesthetic gel like mucaine gel for symptomatic releive and pantoprazole tablets for healing of the erosions if any by montek-lc.  Thank you.
