I have a lung infection because of the Delhi climate, and my doctor prescribed Telekast-L and Sereflo. Is it safe to use Telekast-L for the long term? Also, should I consider staying in Delhi for the long term, or would that worsen my condition?

Accepted Answer

Telekast-L (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use under medical supervision, but it may not address the root cause of a recurring lung infection. If Delhi's air quality consistently worsens your health, it may be worth considering relocating to a cleaner environment for long-term well-being.
