What “Kid” means

This is a lower-strength pediatric formulation compared with many adult formulations. The combination contains:

Montelukast 4 mg

• Leukotriene receptor antagonist.

• Helps reduce inflammation associated with allergic airway disease.

• Can be used in asthma management and allergic rhinitis in appropriately selected children.

• It does not provide immediate relief during an asthma attack.

Levocetirizine 2.5 mg

• Antihistamine.

• Helps relieve allergy symptoms such as:

  • Sneezing

  • Runny/blocked nose

  • Nose/throat itching

  • Watery/itchy eyes

  • Hives/skin allergy

“Dispersible tablet” — how is it different?

A dispersible tablet is designed to break up/dissolve in a small amount of water, making it easier for a child to take.

Follow the product label or pharmacist's instructions for the exact method. Don't assume it should be swallowed whole like a conventional tablet.

Important: this is NOT simply a children's version of every Acclevo-M tablet

Do not substitute one for the other based only on the number of tablets. Pediatric dosing depends on the child's age, weight, diagnosis, other medicines, and the doctor's prescription.

⚠️ Particularly important with montelukast

Montelukast has an FDA boxed warning concerning neuropsychiatric effects, including nightmares, sleep disturbance, agitation, unusual behavior, anxiety, depression, hallucinations, and suicidal thoughts/actions. If a child develops significant new behavioral or mood changes while taking it, contact their doctor promptly.

Also, levocetirizine can cause sleepiness/drowsiness in some children.

If you tell me the child's age, weight, and what problem the doctor prescribed Acclevo-M Kid for (cough, cold, allergy, wheezing/asthma, sinus problem, etc.), I can explain why it was prescribed, the usual timing, how to give the dispersible tablet, and what side effects to watch for.
