Akair LC Syrup

Akair Lc Syrup contains Levocetirizine dihydrochloride 2.5 mg + Montelukast 4 mg per 5 mL (typical for LC paediatric syrup). Prescription required.

Allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny/blocked nose, itching, watery eyes), seasonal allergies, allergy-related cough/post-nasal drip; adjunct in allergy-associated wheeze/asthma prevention as advised by doctor

Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks H1 receptors to reduce allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching and watery eyes. Montelukast blocks leukotriene receptors, reducing inflammation and swelling in the airways and nose, helping prevent allergy symptoms and wheeze.

Oral syrup. Shake well before use and measure with a marked cup/syringe. Usually taken once daily, preferably in the evening; may be taken with or without food. Dose and duration as prescribed, especially for children.

Drowsiness, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhoea

May cause sleepiness—avoid driving/operating machinery if affected. Use with caution in severe kidney disease (dose adjustment may be needed for levocetirizine). Montelukast is not for acute asthma attacks; keep rescue inhaler as prescribed. Rare mood/behaviour changes (agitation, anxiety, nightmares, depression, suicidal thoughts) have been reported with montelukast—stop and seek medical advice if these occur. Inform doctor about liver disease, history of epilepsy, or allergy to ingredients.

Alcohol and other CNS depressants (increased drowsiness), sedatives/antihistamines (additive sedation), rifampicin (may reduce montelukast effect), phenobarbital/phenytoin (may reduce montelukast effect)
