Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been dealing with an allergic cold for the past year, and I am currently taking Montedrel-L tablets for it. Can you confirm if this medication is suitable, and do you have any recommendations for a more appropriate treatment? Please help.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Allergic rhinitis can be quite troublesome. While tablet Montedrel-L (Levocetirizine 5 mg and Montelukast 10 mg) can help alleviate symptoms, it is not a definitive treatment and may not be as effective as metaspray which contains (Mometasone Furoate 0.05 percent, Benzalkonium chloride 0.01 percent, Phenylethyl alcohol 0.25 percent. I suggest you try metaspray to see if it provides better relief. Consult your doctor before starting the medication. I also suggest immune therapy, but before starting, a skin prick test and allergen-specific IgE measurement in serum are necessary to identify prominent allergens and determine the appropriate treatment. Additionally, avoiding allergens is crucial in preventing allergic episodes.

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
