I've been taking Montek LC tablets every day for the past 5-6 years. I'm starting to wonder if there might be any long-term side effects from using these. Could it be harmful?

Taking Montelukast (Montek LC) for long periods can sometimes lead to mild side effects like headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues. In rare cases, prolonged use may cause mood changes or behavioral effects, so it's important to discuss ongoing use with your doctor to ensure it's still the best option for you.

View allI've been dealing with allergy symptoms like airway inflammation, itchy nose, and itchy throat for a while now. In the past, I used to have really bad wheezing, but since I started doing breathing exercises, I haven't had any asthma attacks. However, I still feel like I frequently have some kind of allergies. My symptoms include sinus inflammation, ear pain, throat pain, and irritation in my nose and throat. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to see a pulmonologist for longer-term treatment. Can a pulmonologist help with all kinds of allergies, like food allergies, or should I look elsewhere for that kind of help?
yes pulmonologist can resolve

I've been dealing with chronic urticaria for about a year now, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. I've been taking 5 mg of levocetirizine the whole time, but I'm still struggling. How should I go about treating this? Is there something else I should be trying or asking my doctor about? It's been quite frustrating, and I'm just looking for some guidance.
Try to identify the triggering factor and try to avoid it,that is the tretament for urticaria ,and levocet is the drug of choice,apart from that consume more fruits and stay hydrated that will help in fighting the allergen

I've been on Montair LC for over 4 years now, and every time I try to stop, I get a runny nose and my body itches like crazy. I really want to stop taking it, but it's like I can't. Do you have any ideas on how I can gradually phase it out? Is it okay if I just break the pill in half and take that instead?
take it half
