  5. Ive been prescribed Montair LC for 4 months because my IgE levels were elevated and Ive had a moderate cough. I have a history of pleural effusion from 15 years ago, but after the treatment, I havent had any lung issues since. Im wondering if taking Montair could have any side effects on my lungs or if its safe to take for 5 months. Does it pose any risk to my lungs, considering my past condition?

Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) is generally safe for long-term use in managing allergic conditions and cough. Given your history of pleural effusion, it's important to monitor your lung health, but the medication typically does not have direct harmful effects on the lungs. Always follow your doctor's advice and report any unusual symptoms.
