Nexito Plus is usually given for sleep problems, anxiety, or stress. It contains two medicines one for mood and one that helps you feel calm. If your doctor has given you Montair LC for cold or allergy, you can take it for a short time. But both Montair LC and Nexito Plus can make you feel more sleepy or tired, so be careful dont drive or do any risky work if you feel drowsy.
There is no major harmful reaction between the two for most people, but its always best to tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking. If you feel too sleepy, dizzy, or uncomfortable after taking both, inform your doctor.

I am guessing its your physician who prescribed nexito plus.. because any proper psychiatrist might go with better options if the issue is only insomnia.

Nexito Plus is a combination of escitalopram, which is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor used for anxiety and mood regulation, and clonazepam, which is a calming medicine often used for short term support in sleep and anxiety conditions. It is commonly prescribed for people who are having stress related insomnia or early anxiety symptoms. Montair LC is a medicine that contains montelukast and levocetirizine, which are used to manage allergy symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, or cold sensitivity. These two medicines act on different systems. Nexito Plus affects the brain and emotional circuits, while Montair LC works on the immune and respiratory system. So in most cases, they can be safely taken together for a short time if needed.
Next Steps
You may take Montair LC during this period if you are experiencing allergy, cold, or sinus symptoms. To avoid extra drowsiness, take the two medicines at different times of the day. For example, take Nexito Plus at bedtime and Montair LC either in the evening or earlier depending on how it affects your alertness. Both medicines can cause sleepiness, especially in the beginning. So avoid driving or handling sharp tools during the first few days. Drink more water and avoid alcohol completely, as it can increase drowsiness and reduce clarity.
Health Tips
Drink warm turmeric water or tulsi ginger tea in the morning to support both allergy and sleep rhythm. Avoid all cold items like curd, iced drinks, or raw salads during this period. Before bed, do steam inhalation with ajwain or eucalyptus to ease nasal blockage. Rub warm mustard oil on your chest and soles before sleep to calm the nerves and open up breathing. These steps will help reduce your dependence on medication while supporting your natural healing rhythm.

Certainly! Here’s a revised version with improved grammar and vocabulary:
The mechanism of action of medications for cold and allergies differs from that of Nexito Plus. Nexito Plus contains a benzodiazepine, which can cause sedation. Similarly, many anti-allergy medications also have sedative side effects. Therefore, taking both medications together may result in excessive drowsiness. It is advisable to avoid using them during the daytime. If you experience significant sedation, please consult your psychiatrist for possible dose adjustments.
