The combination of levocetirizine + montelukast is generally safe for breastfeeding mothers. While systemic absorption by the infant is minimal, the baby should be monitored for drowsiness, feeding issues, or irritability. Always consult a healthcare provider to ensure that the medication is appropriate for the individual's condition.
Next Steps
If Alternative Treatment is Considered:
For antihistamines, loratadine is another option with a well-established safety profile during breastfeeding.

It’s important to be cautious with medications while breastfeeding. Montek LC contains montelukast and levocetirizine. Montelukast is generally considered safe for breastfeeding as it appears in breast milk in very low levels1. However, levocetirizine can pass into breast milk and may cause drowsiness in the baby
Next Steps
Consult to find out medicines which are safe during breast feeding
