I am concerned that the LCZ-Mont Kid Tablet I purchased may be a duplicate or counterfeit product. After taking it, my child is experiencing body weakness and abdominal muscle pain and is now refusing to take the medicine. Could these symptoms be related to the medicine? What should I do next?
Body weakness and abdominal pain may sometimes occur as mild side effects of LCZ-Mont Kid Tablet (Montelukast and Levocetirizine). Given the concern that the medicine may be counterfeit, it is safest to stop giving it to your child for now. Please consult your paediatrician promptly to assess your child’s symptoms and confirm whether they are medicine-related or due to another illness. Take the medicine pack with you so it can be checked for any issues with the specific batch you purchased. To reduce such risks in future, medicines should always be purchased from a trusted, licensed pharmacy.
