Diagnosed Allergic Asthma. Rashes, Red Spots And Itching Skin With Intake Of Montemac L. Any Alternative Medication?
I have asthma since childhood
Actually my mother has already asthma.
But from childhood upto 22 years I haven't experience any problem for breathing.
As after that I have experience that I couldn't breath properly.
Then my local doctor advices me for the test
As per the test it founds allergy, then my local doctor advices me to take Montemac -L tablet one everyday.
But whenever I stop to take this medicine, I couldn't take breath. . It feels like attack whenever I stop for one day.
Now I am continues taking this medicine from last 9 months.
From last month I am taking this half tablet per day (like making split of 1 tablet)
And I have experience rushesh on my skin, red spots, and most of the time body itching in the night and while going to the bath. Even I couldn't take shower with warm water.
Is this because of this medicine?.?
I want to get rid of this medicine, is there any alternative safe medicine for this allergic asthma.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Montemac L ingredients are Monteleukast + levoceterizine , as bot are most potent & effective anti allergic .
The rashes , red spots. itching are due to bronchial asthma.
In my opinion you are not taking proper dose as your age is 22 years and you should take at least 1 tablet / day .
Half tablet is not fruitful and useless.
One more point to note here, take MONTEMAC PLUS ( monteleukast+bamboterole) as you are already asthmatic patient so proper medicine for you would be bronchiodilator ( bambuterole is most potent bronchodilator).
Take this tablet on regular basis , once complete relief then take it on alternate day .
After this twice in week , in this way reduce the dose.
Avoid allergen as far possible.
Good luck.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Since asthma, montelukast is one of the drug tor management.
Symptoms like rashes on skin, red spots, and most of the time body itching in the night and while going to the bath are due to allergy and not due to this medicine as it will prevent it.
Other safer alternative is daily inhalational steroid like budesonide to prevent asthma symptom and can take montelukast only during the season. Avoid allergen. You may require to use topical steroid for the skin problem. Do breathing exercises. Hope this will help and I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries and regarding management.
Wish you good health. Take care.
