Hello
Monticop contains montelukast with levocetrizine and it has very minimal side effects.
The side effect due to montelukast may be abdominal discomfort or dryness of mouth. The levocetrizine is a nonsedative antiallergic,but in some cases there may be increased sleepiness.
In most of the cases it is used for longer duration to control the symptoms.It helps in preventing the recurrence of symptoms when added with steroid(budecort) and bronchodilator(levolin).
Regards
