Have Skin Allergies. What Is The Difference Between Montek LC And Cetirizine?
Good morning.
could you please tell me the difference between Montek LC tablets abd Cetirizine. I do suffer from skin alllergies from time to time. My blood tests showed that I am highly sensitive to Citrus fruits.I have completely eliminated them from my diet. I also develop these allergies whenever I have been prescribed heavy duty antibiotics ,in this case it was about a month back due to a dental surgery. I have always responded well to Cetirizine,but this time the has asked me to try Montek LC .Since i do not react well to all medicines,I request your Guidance.
Thank you

Dear Friend.
Cetrizine is an anti histaminic drug used to treat allergies.
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies.
Montek LC contains both Levocetzine (relative of cetrizine) and montelukast.
You can use this for your allergy.
Stay Healthy
