Montel 10mg 28Tab

Description

Montel 10mg 28Tab contains montelukast sodium at a strength of 10mg per tablet, with 28 tablets in the package. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to prevent asthma symptoms and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis). It works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, substances in the body that cause inflammation and narrowing of the airways in asthma, and contribute to allergy symptoms. Key information includes:

• Montelukast Sodium 10mg: Each tablet contains 10 milligrams of montelukast sodium, the active ingredient that helps to control asthma and allergy symptoms. This is the standard adult dose.
• 28 Tablets: The package contains 28 tablets, typically providing a four-week supply when taken once daily.
• Asthma Prevention and Management: Montel is used for the long-term prevention of asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It is usually taken once daily in the evening.
• Relief of Allergy Symptoms: It is also effective in relieving symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and watery eyes. It can be taken once daily, either in the morning or evening.
• Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist: Montelukast blocks the effects of leukotrienes, inflammatory chemicals that the body releases in response to allergens and other triggers.
• Prescription Medication: Montel requires a prescription from a doctor. Dosage and timing are determined based on the condition being treated and the patient’s needs.
• Dosage and Administration: The usual dose for asthma and allergic rhinitis in adults and adolescents (15 years and older) is one 10mg tablet taken orally once daily. For asthma, it is usually taken in the evening. For allergies, the timing of the dose can be more flexible. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
• Potential Side Effects: Common side effects are usually mild and may include headache, abdominal pain, flu-like symptoms, and fatigue. Less common but more serious side effects can occur. Report any unusual symptoms or behavioral changes to your doctor.
• Important Precautions: Montel is not a rescue medication and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks. Always have a rescue inhaler available. Inform your doctor about any other medical conditions or medications you are taking.
