Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

Montek LC contains two drugs - montelukast & levocetirizine.

The lethargy & sleepiness that you are experiencing may be due to levocetirizine component.

Hence I would suggest you to take montelukast only for allergy.

Regarding disturbance in period, i would suggest you to consult a gyanecologist who could advice you better. This is not a side effect of Montek LC.

Hope this will be helpful to you.

Wish you the best of the health.

Regards.
I find this answer helpful
