How It Works

Levkast combines two mechanisms for comprehensive allergy relief. Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, blocks inflammatory substances that cause allergic responses. Levocetirizine, an antihistamine, reduces histamine effects responsible for allergy symptoms. Together, they provide dual-action relief from various allergic reactions.

Levkast begins working within hours of administration, with peak effects occurring within 2-4 hours. The medication provides 24-hour symptom relief with once-daily dosing. Full therapeutic benefits may take several days to weeks of consistent use to achieve optimal allergy control.

Side Effects

Common side effects include headache, fatigue, dizziness, stomach upset, and dry mouth. Serious but rare effects include hives, facial swelling, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, fast heartbeat, drowsiness, insomnia, anxiety, depression, aggression, or hallucinations. Discontinue and seek immediate medical attention for severe reactions.
