Used For:

• Asthma: Avec syrup is primarily prescribed for the treatment of asthma, a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, resulting in symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, substances in the body that contribute to inflammation and constriction of the airways, thereby helping to prevent asthma symptoms.

• Allergic Rhinitis: Additionally, Avec syrup may also be used to manage symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever), such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itching of the nose or throat, and watery eyes, particularly in patients who also have asthma.

Side Effects:

While Avec syrup is generally well-tolerated, it may cause some side effects in certain individuals. Common side effects may include:

• Headache
• Abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Cough
• Elevated liver enzymes (rare)

Less common but potentially serious side effects may include:

• Mood or behavior changes (such as agitation, aggression, anxiety, depression)
• Suicidal thoughts or behavior (rare)
• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver)
• Severe skin reactions (such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis)

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects while taking Avec syrup, it's important to contact your healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Dosage: Follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless instructed to do so by your healthcare provider.
• Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have a history of liver disease or mental health disorders.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It's important to discuss the risks and benefits of taking Avec syrup during pregnancy or breastfeeding with your doctor. Montelukast may be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if the potential benefits outweigh the risks.
• Interactions: Avec syrup may interact with other medications, including certain anticoagulants (blood thinners) and antifungal medications. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications and supplements you are taking.
• Not for Acute Asthma Attacks: Avec syrup is not intended for the relief of acute asthma attacks. If you experience sudden worsening of asthma symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Always consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized advice regarding the use of Avec syrup. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for clarification.
