Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.

The side effects seen most often with Lukotrap are drowsiness, dry mouth, headache and tiredness. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.

Uses

Allergic rhinitis

Benefits

In Allergic rhinitis: Lukotrap blocks the histamine your body releases to an allergen, relieving the sneezing, runny or blocked nose and itchy, watery eyes that spoil your day.
In Hives and skin allergy: Lukotrap calms the itching and brings down the raised, red weals of hives, so the skin settles and you can sleep.
In Itching: Lukotrap relieves itching from an allergic reaction, an insect bite or a skin condition, which also stops the scratching that damages skin and keeps it inflamed.
In Allergic asthma: Lukotrap reduces the allergic inflammation in the airways that triggers wheezing and tightness, so attacks are fewer and milder when it is taken alongside your inhaler.

Side effects

Most side effects of Lukotrap are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Drowsiness
Dry mouth
Headache
Tiredness
Nausea

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Lukotrap LC 5mg/10mg Tablet may be taken with or without food.

How it works

Lukotrap LC 5mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Levocetirizine and Montelukast, which relieve sneezing and a runny nose due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antihistamine that blocks a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist. It works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose, and improves symptoms.

AlcoholUNSAFE: Do not drink alcohol while taking this medicine.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingUNSAFE: Do not drive or operate machinery while taking this medicine.
KidneyCAUTION: Use with caution if you have kidney disease. Your doctor may adjust the dose or monitor your kidney function.

Warnings & precautions

Older antihistamines cause marked drowsiness — do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this affects you. Tell your doctor promptly about any change in mood, sleep, agitation or unusual thoughts while taking montelukast; this is uncommon but recognised. This relieves the symptoms of an allergy; it does not treat the cause, and it is not a treatment for an acute asthma attack. Seek emergency care for swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing.
