Zelmont Dry Syrup

Zelmont Dry Syrup is a combination medicine containing Levocetirizine and Montelukast. It is used to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching. This medication is suitable for children who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It is important for patients to follow their doctor's instructions when using this syrup to ensure effective relief from allergy symptoms.

• Allergic Rhinitis — Used to treat symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itching.

Primary Uses

Relief from symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Treatment of chronic urticaria.

Secondary Uses

Off-label Uses

Not typically used off-label.

Zelmont Dry Syrup works by combining two active ingredients: Levocetirizine, an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural histamine in the body, and Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks substances called leukotrienes, which cause allergy symptoms.

Levocetirizine selectively inhibits peripheral H1 receptors, reducing allergic symptoms. Montelukast binds to cysteinyl leukotriene receptors in the airways, preventing leukotriene-mediated effects such as bronchoconstriction and inflammation.

• Symptom Relief — Provides relief from allergy symptoms like sneezing and runny nose.
