USES-

Montelukast is used to treat and prevent asthma symptoms, including wheeze and dyspnea. In order to avoid breathing difficulties during exercise (bronchospasm), it is sometimes administered prior to activity. With the help of this medication, you may not need to use your fast relief inhaler as frequently.Additionally, hay fever and allergic rhinitis symptoms (such as runny, stuffy, or itchy nose) are treated with monteclast. This medicine should only be used for this problem if other allergy medications are ineffective or cannot be taken since there may be safer or respiratory issues. Whenever you get an asthma attack or unexpected dyspnea, use your quick-relief inhaler exactly as directed.This medication functions by inhibiting leukotrienes, which are organic compounds that can aggravate or cause allergies and asthma. It facilitates breathing by lessening airway edema (inflammation).

BENEFITS -

Asthma and allergic rhinitis are frequently treated with montelaukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Its advantages include lessening symptoms like wheezing and nasal congestion, as well as lowering airway inflammation and enhancing airflow. For people with allergic asthma, monteplazast can be helpful as it is especially good at avoiding bronchoconstriction brought on by exercise.

DIRECTION FOR USE-

To avoid the symptoms of allergies or asthma, most people take montelukast once a day in the evening. On the other hand, your doctor may advise you to take montelukast two hours before to exercising if it aggravates your asthma.

Take no more than one dosage in a day.

Take this drug every day at the same time. Take your dose in the evening if you are using this medicine for allergies and/or asthma. If the sole purpose of your montelukast prescription is to avoid allergies, take your dosage in the morning or the evening.

HOW IT WORKS-

Montelukast functions by preventing the chemical messenger leukotriene from doing its job. This lessens airway inflammation, preventing asthma and relieving allergy symptoms.
