Question 3

I'm wondering how long it usually takes for my IGE levels to go down. I've been on Spirodin 650 and Montemac FX, but I'm still having trouble with my breathing. When should I start feeling like I did before?

Accepted Answer

Spirodin 650 is a brand name for Montelukast, which is used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montemac FX is a combination medication containing Montelukast and Fexofenadine, used for allergic conditions.

Regular follow-up with your doctor is recommended to track your progress.
