Overview
Montral Kid 2.5 mg/4 mg Tablet is a pediatric medication used to manage allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, congestion, itching, and swelling. It can also help control asthma and certain skin allergies.
This medicine should be given exactly as prescribed by the doctor, at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. For asthma management, it is usually best to administer it in the evening or around two hours before physical activity. If it is being used for allergy relief, the timing depends on when symptoms usually begin, either morning or evening. If your child is being treated for both asthma and allergies, evening doses are preferred. If your child vomits within half an hour of taking the medicine, the dose can be repeated, unless it is close to the time for the next scheduled dose.
Improvement may be noticeable after a few doses, but it is important to continue the full course as prescribed, even if your child feels better. Stopping the medication suddenly can worsen symptoms. Mild and temporary side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dry mouth, rash, dizziness, sore throat, or abdominal discomfort may occur. These usually resolve on their own. If any side effect becomes severe or persistent, seek medical advice promptly.
Always inform the doctor about any ongoing medications your child is taking and share their complete health history, especially if they have experienced allergic reactions, liver or kidney issues, heart conditions, blood disorders, lung problems, or skin diseases. This helps the doctor decide the safest and most effective treatment plan.

How It Works
Montral Kid Tablet contains two active ingredients: Levocetirizine and Montelukast. Levocetirizine helps block histamine, the chemical responsible for symptoms like sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, substances in the body that cause swelling and narrowing of the airways. Together, they reduce allergic reactions and improve breathing in conditions like asthma and allergies.
Precautions
- Kidney health: Children with kidney problems should use this medicine cautiously. In severe kidney disease, this medicine may not be recommended.
- Liver health: It is generally safe for children with liver issues, but in severe liver conditions, medical advice is necessary.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double the dose to make up for it.
