Benefits of Lcm Suspension for your child
In Treatment of Allergic skin conditions
Lcm Suspension is effective in treating allergic skin conditions with inflammation and itching. It reduces the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation of the skin. When used correctly it is a safe and effective treatment. It reduces the redness, rash, pain or itchiness caused by your skin’s reaction to an irritant. It thus improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. Keep taking it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.
In Treatment of Hay fever
Hay fever, also called allergic rhinitis, causes cold-like signs and symptoms, such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, congestion, sneezing and sinus pressure. The only difference is that in hay fever, these symptoms are not produced due to a virus but are simply allergic responses of our body to allergens (allergy causing agents such as pollen). Lcm Suspension is used to provide relief from these symptoms of hay fever. It works by blocking the release of the chemical substance responsible for producing such allergy symptoms. Lcm Suspension is a safe medicine which helps treat hay fever and makes us feel at ease.
Side effects of Lcm Suspension in children
Lcm Suspension does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by children. In case the side effects do occur, they’re likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine.

How can I give Lcm Suspension to my child?

How Lcm Suspension works
Lcm Suspension contains Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Together these two relieve sneezing and runny nose caused due to allergies. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic that blocks a chemical messenger (histamine) responsible for runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist. It works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene). This reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose and improves symptoms.

FAQs
My child has a persistent cough along with allergic symptoms. Can I give cough and allergy medicine together?
No. Do not mix cough and allergy medicines because they usually both contain similar ingredients. This may result in double dosing of the active ingredients, thereby causing serious side effects.
Can I decrease the dose of Lcm Suspension by myself if my child starts to feel better?
No, adhere to the dose as prescribed by your child’s doctor. Do not increase or decrease the dose by yourself as it can impact your child’s health. While increasing the dose may cause unwanted effects like sedation and depression, decreasing the dose or stopping it suddenly can result in rebound reversal of all symptoms.
How should Lcm Suspension be stored?
Lcm Suspension should be stored at room temperature in a dry place, away from direct heat and light. Also, keep all medicines out of the reach and sight of children to avoid any accidental intake.
Can Lcm Suspension make my child sleepy?
Lcm Suspension causes mild drowsiness which can make your child sleepy. However, never give this medicine to your child to induce sleep. Forced sleep could mask any underlying sleep disorder like insomnia.
My child is an athlete and has to participate in a sports event in the next two days. Can I start the course of Lcm Suspension?
No, don’t start Lcm Suspension without speaking to your child’s doctor. Moreover, Lcm Suspension can hamper your child’s performance as it may cause mild sedation, dizziness, and sleepiness. So, it’s best to reach out to the doctor first.
Can I stop the medicine by myself?
No, all symptoms may reappear on sudden withdrawal of Lcm Suspension usually if taken for a long-term. It is advised to stop this medicine gradually under the guidance of your child’s doctor.
My child is suffering from a mood disorder. Is it safe to give Lcm Suspension to my child?
Some studies show that Lcm Suspension can cause mood disorders, hallucinations, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, shakiness, and trouble controlling body movements. Therefore, consult your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Can I use Lcm Suspension for treating acute asthma attacks in my child?
Lcm Suspension should only be used to prevent asthma attacks. It should not be used to stop an attack that has already started. Use your child’s reliever medicine to help with an attack that has already started.
What is Lcm Suspension?
Lcm Suspension is a combination of two medicines: Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Levocetirizine is an antiallergic which helps to relieve allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, watery eyes and cough. It works by lowering chemicals in the body that cause allergy symptoms. Montelukast works by blocking another chemical messenger (leukotriene) and reduces inflammation (swelling) in the airways and nose. This further helps to relieve the symptoms.
Can the use of Lcm Suspension cause drowsiness or sleepiness?
Yes, the most common side effect of Lcm Suspension is sleepiness. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery or engage in other activities that need your full attention unless your doctor says that you may do so. Do not drink alcohol or take other central nervous system depressants, such as cough and cold medicines. Also avoid taking certain pain relief medicines and medicines that help you sleep as they can lead to severe drowsiness or can worsen it, causing falls or accidents.
Can Lcm Suspension be stopped when allergy symptoms are relieved?
No, Lcm Suspension should be continued as advised by the doctor. If you experience any side effects of this medicine or the symptoms of allergy are worsened, consult the doctor for re-evaluation.
Can the use of Lcm Suspension cause dry mouth?
Yes, the use of Lcm Suspension can cause dry mouth. If you experience dry mouth, drink plenty of water. Take regular sips during the day and keep some water by your bed at night. You may use lip balm if your lips are also dry.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Lcm Suspension?
No, do not take alcohol while taking Lcm Suspension. Drinking alcohol will increase the severity of drowsiness/sleepiness caused by Lcm Suspension.
Will Lcm Suspension be more effective if taken in higher doses?
No, taking a higher dose of this medicine than recommended will not make it more effective. Consuming higher than the recommended dose of Lcm Suspension can cause increased side effects. If the symptoms are getting severe, please consult the doctor for re-evaluation.
What are the instructions for storage and disposal of Lcm Suspension?
Keep this medicine in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose of the unused medicine. Make sure it is not consumed by pets, children, and other people.
