Brief Answer:
You should continue this tablet for atleast 6-8 months.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the report you have attached.
You are having allergic inflammation.
Best treatment of allergy is identification of allergen and if possible complete avoidance of it.
So you should wear mask while driving or moving on roads to prevent pollutants allergens.
Montair LC is having montelukast (anti allergic) and levocetrizine (antihistamine).
It is drug of choice for allergic inflammation.
And no harm in taking it for long periods. Ideally this tablet should be taken for at least 6-8 months.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
