Zobix 15 Tablet

Who is this for?

This drug combines two medicines — Montelukast, which reduces swelling and tightness in your airways, and Levocetirizine, which blocks the chemical (histamine) that causes allergic reactions like sneezing, itching, and runny nose.

Blocks cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CysLT1) to inhibit bronchoconstriction and inflammatory cell infiltration in asthma and allergic pathways, while levocetirizine antagonizes H1 histamine receptors to reduce itching, vasodilation, and allergic inflammatory responses.

Is Montelukast; safe to take with another drug?

Take one tablet once daily in the evening, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. It is best to take it at the same time every day for the best results.

If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your normal schedule. Do not take two tablets at once to make up for it.

Avoid drinking alcohol as it can increase drowsiness and dizziness when combined with this drug. Tell your doctor if you are taking phenobarbital or rifampicin, as they can reduce how well this medicine works. Be careful if you are using sleeping tablets or other antihistamines, as the drowsy effect can double up.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving it in your car or near windows. Keep it in its original pack and far from the reach of children.
