About Your Child’s Medicine – Montina FX 10mg/120mg Tablet

Montina FX 10mg/120mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage allergic symptoms in children. It helps relieve issues like sneezing, runny nose, stuffy nose, watery eyes, and nasal congestion caused by allergies.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day as prescribed by the doctor. The exact dosage depends on your child’s condition and how they respond to treatment. It’s important to follow the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve earlier, as stopping the medicine too soon can lead to a recurrence or worsening of symptoms. Make sure your healthcare provider is aware of all other medicines your child is taking, as some can interfere with this treatment.

Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, skin rash, and flu-like symptoms. These effects are usually temporary and disappear as the body adjusts. If any side effects worsen or cause concern, contact your doctor immediately. This medicine may also cause dizziness or drowsiness, so your child should avoid activities like driving or operating machinery until they know how the medicine affects them. Alcohol should also be avoided during treatment, as it can increase sleepiness.

Never use this medicine without a doctor’s recommendation, and don’t share it with others. Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids while on this medicine. Before starting treatment, inform the doctor if your child has kidney or liver issues, or if they are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

How It Works

Montina FX combines two active ingredients:

Fexofenadine, an antihistamine that blocks histamine – a chemical responsible for sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes.
