Description

Montelukast Sodium 10 mg is an oral leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the management and prevention of asthma and allergic rhinitis. The medication is available in a film-coated tablet form, which enhances ease of swallowing and ensures stability. This formulation is commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and improve respiratory symptoms associated with chronic conditions.

Montelukast works by selectively blocking leukotriene receptors, which are responsible for airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and increased mucus production. By inhibiting the action of leukotrienes, the drug helps to decrease airway resistance and improve breathing in patients with asthma.

The 10 mg tablet is typically taken once daily in the evening. It is suitable for use in adults and adolescents aged 15 years and older. Montelukast is not indicated for the acute treatment of asthma attacks but is effective as part of a long-term management plan. Side effects are generally mild and may include headache, fatigue and abdominal pain.
