Monte-air (10mg tablet x 28)

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of certain chemicals called leukotrienes in the body. By inhibiting leukotrienes, Montelukast helps to reduce inflammation in the airways, prevent bronchoconstriction, and relieve symptoms associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis.

Dosage:

The typical recommended dosage of Montelukast for adults and children aged 15 years and older is 10 mg once daily, usually taken in the evening. For children between 6 and 14 years of age, the recommended dosage is 5 mg once daily. For children aged 2 to 5 years, the dosage may vary, and it’s important to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare professional.

Usage:

Montelukast is used to manage the following conditions:

1. Asthma: It is prescribed as a maintenance treatment to control asthma symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. It is not intended for immediate relief during an acute asthma attack. If you experience an asthma attack, you should follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for rescue medication.
2. Allergic Rhinitis: Montelukast can be used for the relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itching, and nasal congestion.

It’s important to note that Montelukast should be taken regularly, even when you are feeling well, as it works best when taken consistently. If you have any questions or concerns about the medication, its usage, or dosage, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist who can provide specific guidance based on your medical history and condition.
