Akair LC Tablet is a combination medication commonly used to manage symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, runny or blocked nose, watery eyes, itching, swelling, and congestion. It helps reduce inflammation in the airways, making it easier to breathe.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor. The dosage and duration will depend on your medical condition and response to treatment. It is important to continue taking it for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to prevent them from returning. Do not stop the medication without consulting your doctor. Be sure to inform your healthcare provider about any other medicines you are taking, as they may interact with this treatment.

Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, dry mouth, skin rash, flu-like symptoms, and drowsiness. These usually subside as your body adjusts to the medicine. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately. This tablet may cause dizziness or sleepiness, so avoid driving or handling heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase drowsiness.

It is not advisable to share this medicine with others or to self-medicate. Staying well-hydrated while on this treatment can be beneficial. Patients with kidney issues should inform their doctor before starting the medication, as dosage adjustments might be needed.

Akair LC Tablet is used to manage various allergic conditions, including skin allergies, hay fever, and symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. It works by combining two active ingredients: Levocetirizine, which blocks histamine, a chemical responsible for allergy symptoms like itching and watery eyes, and Montelukast, which blocks leukotrienes, chemicals that cause inflammation and swelling in the airways. Together, they relieve symptoms and improve breathing.

Possible side effects include abdominal pain, sore throat, fever, upper respiratory tract infections, and occasionally, increased liver enzymes. Most effects are temporary, but medical attention should be sought if they become severe.

For safe use, take the tablet whole without crushing or chewing, preferably at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in your body. It is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy if prescribed by a doctor. However, it is not recommended during breastfeeding as it may harm the baby.

People with kidney or severe liver problems should use this medicine cautiously, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Avoid doubling up doses to make up for a missed one.
