Overview Mekast L Syrup

PediaAllergy Syrup is frequently used in pediatric patients to alleviate allergy symptoms including nasal discharge, sneezing, itching, edema, nasal congestion, and lacrimation. It can also be beneficial in managing asthma and dermatological allergies. Administer this medication to your child at the prescribed dosage and frequency, consistently either before or after meals. For asthma management, evening administration or two hours prior to exercise is recommended. For allergies, morning or evening dosing is appropriate, timed to coincide with symptom onset; for children experiencing both asthma and allergies, evening administration is preferred. If vomiting occurs within 30 minutes of ingestion, repeat the dose; however, omit if the next dose is due. Symptom improvement may be noted after several doses; however, complete the prescribed course for optimal results. Discontinuing the medication prematurely may exacerbate the condition. Minor, transient side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, xerostomia, rash, and headache may occur, typically resolving as the child adjusts. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant immediate consultation with your pediatrician. Inform your pediatrician of all other medications your child is taking, and provide a comprehensive medical history, including any prior allergies, cardiac issues, hematological disorders, vascular conditions, congenital anomalies, airway obstructions, pulmonary abnormalities, skin conditions, hepatic impairment, and renal dysfunction. This information is crucial for appropriate dosage adjustment and comprehensive treatment planning.

How Mekast L Syrup works:

Mekast L Syrup combines levocetirizine and montelukast to alleviate allergy symptoms such as sneezing and nasal discharge.

Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, inhibits leukotrienes, inflammatory mediators that cause airway and nasal swelling, thereby improving symptoms.
