Brief Answer:
Tab MONTEK LC is a recommended medicine for allergic rhinitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX contact,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. The medicine MONTEK LC contains montelukast 10 mg, levocetirizine dihydrochloride 5 mg.

2. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist and prevents allergy causing substances from being released in to the system by blocking leukotriene receptors.

3. Levocetirizine is a antihistamine medicine and controls the release of histamine which is a chemical substance that triggers allergy.

4. The above medicine should help to control your allergic rhinitis and improve the symptoms over a week.

5. Taking steam and going to naturopath are also recommended to make you feel better. Please avoid dust exposure and stay away from pollen in your surroundings. There is a lot of weather fluctuations and please avoid cold temperature and the rain.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
