Question

I've been taking Montek LC tablets every day for the past 5-6 years. I'm starting to wonder if there might be any long-term side effects from using these. Could it be harmful?

Taking Montelukast (Montek LC) for long periods can sometimes lead to mild side effects like headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues. In rare cases, prolonged use may cause mood changes or behavioral effects, so it's important to discuss ongoing use with your doctor to ensure it's still the best option for you.

Question

Ive been getting the flu shot from the same brand, Flu Quadri, every year without issues, but last year was different. After the shot, I felt my chest tighten up, had trouble breathing, and then woke up the next day with severe muscle pain all over. These symptoms quickly disappeared, but Im wondering if its safe to get the flu shot again this year. Should I only get it when Im feeling my best, or is it better to skip it altogether after what happened last time?

Question

I've been using fexofenadine for about three years now since I had a bad case of bronchitis that dragged on for a while. Whenever I try to stop taking it, like my doctor suggested, I end up with this crazy itching all over. The doctor's advice was to take it only if the itching starts. I'm really curious if it's safe to continue taking fexofenadine this way, and Im also wondering if there are any other methods or alternatives I should consider. What do you think?
