Is it safe to take cetirizine or Montair LC to treat a cold and sneezing if I got the Covishield vaccine two weeks ago?

Asked by Male, 35 · 26 days ago

It is completely safe to take cetirizine or Montair LC for your cold and sneezing. Having received your Covishield vaccine two weeks ago, there is no risk of interaction between these medications and the vaccine. These allergy-relieving drugs will not affect how well your vaccine works. You can safely use either medication to find relief from your symptoms.

I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis by an ENT specialist and was earlier prescribed Montair LC (Montelukast 10 mg with Levocetirizine 5 mg), which helped my symptoms, but after stopping it my hay fever has flared up again, now I am thinking of restarting the medicine on my own and also considering Teczine M since it has the same combination, is it generally okay to use this combination again and for how long is it usually taken for allergy control?
For your allergic rhinitis, what you are experiencing is quite common because this condition tends to be long-term and symptom-based rather than completely curable. Montair LC (or similar combinations like Teczine M) contains an antihistamine and Montelukast, which help control the allergic response, so it is normal that symptoms improve while taking it and return after stopping, especially if exposure to dust, pollen, pollution, or seasonal triggers continues. Restarting a similar combination is generally used in practice for flare-ups, but ideally, it should be done under your ENT or physician's advice so the duration and plan are adjusted properly. These medicines are often used for a few weeks to a couple of months during active symptoms, and in some cases longer if allergies are frequent. However, long-term control is usually better achieved by adding a nasal steroid spray and avoiding triggers rather than relying only on tablets. If symptoms keep coming back repeatedly, a structured long-term allergy management plan is usually needed instead of repeated self-restarting of tablets.
