Montair

Product Overview

Montair is a prescription medication containing Montelukast Sodium as its active ingredient. Available in tablet form, it belongs to the leukotriene receptor antagonist class of drugs. This medication is primarily prescribed for asthma prevention and long-term management, as well as for alleviating symptoms of allergic rhinitis.

Uses

Montair is indicated for:
– Preventing and managing asthma symptoms (wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing)
– Treating allergic rhinitis symptoms (sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, itching)
It works by inhibiting leukotrienes – inflammatory chemicals that cause airway constriction, inflammation, and excess mucus production.

How to Use

Take Montair tablets orally with water, with or without food, as prescribed. Swallow tablets whole – do not crush or chew. Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions precisely. If you miss a dose, take it when remembered, but never double dose to compensate.

How it Works

Montair blocks leukotriene receptors, preventing these inflammatory mediators from triggering:
– Airway inflammation
– Bronchoconstriction
– Excessive mucus production
This mechanism helps improve breathing and reduces asthma/allergy symptoms.
