1 AL Max 5mg/10mg Tablet

Overview
1 AL Max 5mg/10mg Tablet is a dual-action medicine that helps relieve allergy-related discomfort such as blocked or runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, itching, swelling, and congestion. It also eases airway inflammation, making breathing smoother.

How to take
The tablet may be taken with or without meals, exactly as advised by the doctor. The dosage depends on the patient’s condition and response to therapy. Stopping the medicine too soon can cause the symptoms to return, so it should be continued for the duration recommended by the healthcare provider. Always inform your doctor about any other medicines you are on, as interactions are possible.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience nausea, vomiting, loose motions, dryness in the mouth, tiredness, rash, fever, abdominal discomfort, sore throat, sleepiness, or flu-like symptoms. Headache and dizziness are also reported. These effects are generally short-lived and settle on their own, but medical advice should be sought if they persist or worsen. Since the tablet can make you drowsy, activities like driving or operating machinery should be avoided until you know how your body reacts. Alcohol intake can intensify drowsiness and should be avoided.

Precautions
This medicine should not be shared or taken without prescription. It is also a good idea to drink enough fluids while on this treatment. Those with existing kidney problems must inform their doctor before starting the medication.

Uses
It is prescribed for conditions such as allergic skin reactions, hay fever, sneezing, runny nose, and other allergy-related symptoms.

How it works
The formulation combines Levocetirizine, an antihistamine that blocks histamine activity responsible for allergy symptoms, with Montelukast, a leukotriene antagonist that reduces swelling and inflammation in the nasal passages and airways. Together, they relieve both nasal and skin allergies.

Safety considerations
Pregnant women may use it if the doctor advises, but breastfeeding mothers are generally advised not to take it, as the medicine may affect the baby. Those with severe kidney or liver issues should use it cautiously and only under medical guidance.

Missed dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If the next scheduled dose is close, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Doubling up doses should be avoided
