thanks for your question
monteleukast and levocetrizine should be taken as prescribed by your physician
you can consult a Pulmonologist , he ll guide you best
if you are taking it intermittently I don't think it's going to do any harm
theoretically it should be taken as per course and regularly and some studies says that it can be taken up for months regularly without any side effects
thanks
