Introduction
Ronosoft Vit is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Montelukast and Fexofenadine. As a combination medication, it is commonly used to provide relief from symptoms associated with seasonal allergies, such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes. This medication is available in the form of an oral suspension.
Uses
Ronosoft Vit is prescribed to manage symptoms caused by seasonal allergies, including hay fever. It can help alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. This medication works by reducing the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions.
Dosage and Administration
follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional. The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years old is 10 milliliters (ml) once daily, preferably in the evening. For children 6 to 12 years old, the recommended dose is 5 ml once daily. Measure the correct dose using the provided dosing device.
Mechanism of Action
Ronosoft Vit combines two active ingredients with distinct mechanisms of action. Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, substances in the body that are involved in the inflammatory process associated with allergies. By blocking leukotrienes, Montelukast helps reduce the symptoms of seasonal allergies. Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that blocks the effects of histamine, a chemical released during an allergic reaction. By blocking histamine, Fexofenadine helps relieve allergy symptoms.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include headache, drowsiness, dry mouth, and upset stomach. These side effects are generally mild and may go away on their own. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional.
In rare cases, Ronosoft Vit may cause serious side effects such as allergic reactions, including rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
Drug Interactions
inform your healthcare professional about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking before starting Ronosoft Vit. Certain medications may interact with Montelukast or Fexofenadine, potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Some common drug interactions include:
- Cimetidine: May increase the concentration of Fexofenadine in the body.
- Rifampicin: May decrease the concentration of Montelukast in the body.
- Phenytoin: May decrease the concentration of Fexofenadine in the body.
This is not an exhaustive list of drug interactions. Always consult your healthcare professional for a complete list of medications that may interact with Ronosoft Vit.
