Question 1

I've been having breathing problems for a while now, and I'm currently taking Montek LC tablet. Is it okay to keep using it, or should I be concerned? Please suggest what I should do.

Accepted Answer

Taking Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) can help manage allergies and breathing issues caused by conditions like allergic rhinitis or mild asthma. However, long-term breathing problems should be evaluated by a doctor to rule out underlying conditions like asthma, COPD, or other respiratory disorders. Please consult a specialist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 2

Hi doctor, my grandfather had COVID pneumonia and his HRCT score was 12/25. He was discharged 40 days ago but for the past 5-6 days, his oxygen level drops to around 92-93 while he's sleeping, and then goes back up to 96-97 when he wakes up. Should w...

Accepted Answer

It's not uncommon for oxygen levels to fluctuate slightly during sleep, especially after recovering from COVID-19 pneumonia. However, if the oxygen level drops below 90%, it could indicate a need for further monitoring. The elevated D-dimer suggests some ongoing inflammation or clotting risk, so its important to keep in touch with your healthcare provider to assess if further tests or treatments are needed.

Question 3

Ive been having breathing problems for the last 5 years and have been using an inhaler along with Montair LC tablets. Is this something Ill need to manage long-term, or should I be looking into other treatments?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you've been managing a chronic respiratory issue for the past five years, using an inhaler and Montair LC tablets to help with symptoms. It's important to continue following your prescribed treatment plan, but if you're noticing any changes or worsening of symptoms, it may be worth discussing with your doctor to adjust your management strategy.

Question 4

Hi, Ive been an asthmatic for 10 years and I usually wake up 2-3 times at night to use my Asthalin inhaler, and also 2-3 times during the day. But Ive noticed that when I take Montek LC during sudden climate changes at night, I dont need to use the i...

Accepted Answer

It's important to note that Montelukast (Montek LC) helps control inflammation and reduce asthma symptoms, but it doesn't provide immediate relief like your inhaler. While Montelukast can help manage symptoms long-term, it's typically not a substitute for your inhaler in acute situations. I recommend discussing your routine with your doctor to ensure both your long-term management and immediate relief needs are addressed effectively.

Question 5

I have a lung problem and have also had surgery on my nose. I used to take Seretra 80mg for my asthma, but now my ENT doctor has prescribed Montek LC as an anti-allergy. Is it safe to take both Seretra 80mg and Montek LC together?

Accepted Answer

Only seretra is not enough for asthma. You will need to undergo pulmonary function test which is needed for the diagnosis as well as to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.

Question 6
