Montair LC contains Montelukast and Levocetirizine. Both these medicines are generally considered safe during breastfeeding, as only minimal amounts pass into breast milk. No significant adverse effects have been reported in breastfed infants when taken for short durations.

Next Steps
You can take Montair LC if your symptoms are bothersome. Stay well hydrated and consider steam inhalation or saline nasal drops as supportive measures.
If symptoms persist beyond a few days or worsen, consult your physician for further evaluatio
Health Tips
Avoid self-medicating repeatedly without consulting your doctor.
• Watch your baby for unusual drowsiness or feeding issues, although such side effects are extremely rare.
