I have been taking Montec LC for the last 4 years, and whenever I stop taking it, I experience severe headaches and continuous sneezing. What alternative medicine or treatment should I take to resolve this issue?

Montec LC contains Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Stopping it abruptly after four years can cause a 'rebound effect,' leading to severe sneezing and withdrawal headaches. To resolve this: Taper Gradually: Do not stop the medication suddenly. Slowly reduce the dose under medical guidance (e.g., taking it every alternate day, then every third day). Alternative Treatment: A prescription steroid nasal spray (like Fluticasone) is an excellent, non-habit-forming alternative to control sneezing without causing withdrawal symptoms. Consult a Doctor: Please visit an allergist or ENT specialist to diagnose the root cause of your allergies and safely transition you off Montec LC.
