Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, reducing airway and nasal inflammation, providing further symptom relief.
Drowsiness is the most frequent side effect of Ibikast LF Tablets. Refrain from driving, operating machinery, or undertaking activities requiring concentration until your doctor advises otherwise. Avoid alcohol and other central nervous system depressants (including cough/cold medicines, pain relievers, and sleep aids) to prevent excessive drowsiness and the risk of falls or accidents.
Continue taking Ibikast LF Tablet as your doctor instructed. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any side effects or worsening allergy symptoms.
Dry mouth is a possible side effect of Ibikast LF Tablet. To alleviate this, drink water frequently throughout the day and keep a glass beside your bed. Use lip balm if your lips become dry as well.
