Product Introduction:
Anshicet M Kid Tablet is a pharmaceutical formulation combining Levocetirizine (5mg) and Montelukast (10mg). This medication is primarily indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and associated symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, nasal congestion, and itching of the throat or eyes. By combining these two active ingredients, Anshicet M Kid Tablet offers a dual-action approach to manage allergic reactions effectively.
Anshicet M Kid Tablet is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early your symptoms may come back and your condition may worsen. Let your healthcare team know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, dryness in the mouth, headache, skin rash, flu-like symptoms, and fatigue. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects. This medicine may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine as it can worsen your sleepiness.
Never support self-medication or recommend your medicine to another person. It is beneficial to have plenty of fluids while taking this medication. Before you start taking this medicine it is important to inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney disease.
Benefits:
- Levocetirizine (Antihistamine): Levocetirizine blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that triggers allergic symptoms. It provides relief from symptoms such as sneezing, itching, runny nose, and watery eyes.
- Montelukast (Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist): Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are substances in the body that contribute to allergic reactions and inflammation. It helps relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion and inflammation of the airways.
Side Effects:
While Anshicet M Kid Tablet is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:
- Drowsiness or Fatigue: Levocetirizine may cause drowsiness or fatigue in some individuals, although it is less sedating compared to older antihistamines.
- Headache: Headache is a common side effect reported with the use of both Levocetirizine and Montelukast.
- Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.

Drug Interactions:
Anshicet M Kid Tablet may interact with other medications, including:
- Other Antihistamines: Concurrent use of multiple antihistamines may increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness or dizziness.
- Medications Metabolized by CYP2C8 and CYP3A4: Montelukast may affect the metabolism of certain medications metabolized by these enzymes, potentially altering their levels in the body.
