The symptoms of shaking, sweating, and extreme weakness after minimal walking could be a side effect of Asthalin (salbutamol), which can cause temporary tremors and a rapid heart rate. However, because your grandfather is 80 and has high blood pressure, these symptoms after walking just a few steps could also indicate a strain on his heart, potentially triggered by the recent chest infection. His heart ultrasound (Doppler) and cardiologist's findings are essential to check his heart's pumping function. Please share these test results with his cardiologist immediately. They will determine if his medications need adjustment to help him regain his strength safely.

Is it safe to take Montair LC for sneezing while I am 32 weeks pregnant?

Montair LC contains two active ingredients: levocetirizine and montelukast. While both are generally considered relatively safe in late pregnancy, we usually prefer to avoid combination medications if a single-ingredient option can provide relief. There are other highly studied, single-ingredient antihistamines that might be safer first-line choices for your symptoms. Please consult your obstetrician before taking Montair LC so they can recommend the safest and most effective option for you and your baby during this important time.

Is it safe and sufficient for me to use the prescribed Formonide inhaler and Montair LC tablet for my painful breathing while breastfeeding my 7-month-old, especially since my chest x-ray and breathing tests were normal?

Regarding your medications: the Formonide inhaler (budesonide/formoterol) is considered safe during breastfeeding because very little of it enters breast milk. The Montair LC tablet (montelukast/levocetirizine) is also generally safe, though it is wise to monitor your 7-month-old for any unusual sleepiness. These prescribed medications are appropriate to help soothe your airways and relieve your painful breathing. Please continue them as directed by your doctor, and reach out to them if your symptoms do not improve.

My mother has a runny nose, body aches, and a sore throat three days after getting the Covaxin vaccine; since she has already taken Montair LC twice today, does she need any other medications?

Please note that Montair LC is typically taken only once daily; she should avoid taking it twice a day. For her body aches and sore throat, she can safely take paracetamol. Encourage her to rest, drink plenty of warm fluids, and try warm saline gargles to soothe her throat. If her symptoms worsen, or she develops a high fever or breathing difficulties, please consult a doctor promptly.

I have been taking Montair LC, oiling my skin before bathing, and using lotion afterward for a month, but my skin irritation still won't go away; do I need to bathe every day, or are there other treatments I should try?

While Montair LC (montelukast/levocetirizine) helps with allergies, your skin may need targeted care. You do not need to bathe every day if it dries your skin; when you do, use lukewarm water and a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser instead of soap. Oiling can sometimes clog pores and worsen irritation. I recommend consulting a dermatologist. They can evaluate your skin and may suggest medicated topical treatments, like mild corticosteroid creams or barrier repair ointments, which are more effective than standard lotions.

Is it safe to get the COVID-19 vaccine if I have been taking Montair LC every day for the past two months to treat hives that developed after recovering from COVID-19?

It is safe to receive your COVID-19 vaccine while taking Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine). This medication treats your hives by managing allergic responses; it does not suppress your immune system or reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine. It is actually best to keep your hives well-controlled before getting vaccinated. You do not need to stop taking your medication. Just be sure to inform the healthcare provider at the vaccination center about your history of hives and current medications.

Why is my dry cough still not completely gone after taking Montair LC for three weeks for mild airway irritation and sinus swelling, and what should I do now that my hives have also returned?

Montair LC (montelukast and levocetirizine) is excellent for allergies and airway irritation, but three weeks is a long time for symptoms to persist. The return of your hives suggests that the underlying allergic trigger may still be active, or there could be another cause, like acid reflux or lingering airway sensitivity, that needs a different approach. Please do not worry, but I highly recommend consulting your doctor. They can safely evaluate your symptoms, pinpoint the root cause, and adjust your treatment to finally bring you the relief you deserve.
