LevoZen M-KID

Composition:

• Levocetirizine 2.5 mg
• Montelukast Sodium 4 mg

Description:

LEVOZEN-M KID Syrup is a specially formulated syrup for children designed to relieve symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and other allergy-related conditions. This combination of Levocetirizine and Montelukast Sodium works synergistically to control both the allergic response and the underlying inflammation.

• Levocetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors, helping to relieve common allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. It also helps reduce itching and swelling in the skin (urticaria).
• Montelukast Sodium is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by preventing the action of leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation in the airways and contribute to allergic reactions. This helps reduce symptoms of asthma and seasonal or year-round allergic rhinitis.

Indications:

LEVOZEN-M KID Syrup is prescribed for:

• Allergic Rhinitis:
  • Sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy or watery eyes due to seasonal allergies (hay fever) or year-round allergies.
• Asthma:
  • Helps manage mild to moderate asthma in children.
• Urticaria:
  • Provides relief from hives, reducing itching and rash.

It is commonly recommended for children aged 2 years and above who suffer from these conditions.

Benefits:

• Dual Action: Combines an antihistamine (Levocetirizine) and a leukotriene receptor antagonist (Montelukast) for comprehensive relief.
