Montair 4mg Chew Tablet 15’s

Montair 4mg Chew Tablet contains Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It is primarily used for the management and prevention of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma. Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation and narrowing of airways. By reducing the effects of leukotrienes, Montelukast helps reduce inflammation in the airways, preventing asthma attacks and alleviating allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and nasal congestion.

This medication is suitable for both children and adults and is commonly prescribed for long-term control of asthma symptoms. It can also be used to prevent asthma attacks caused by exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

How It Works

Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, which are chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, swelling, and narrowing of the airways. By binding to the leukotriene receptors, Montair prevents the allergic response and reduces airway constriction, helping individuals breathe easier and reduce symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. It works effectively to manage both asthma and seasonal allergies.
