Montelukast 10mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Montelukast Sodium 10mg is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for asthma prevention, exercise-induced breathing difficulty, and allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, and itchy or watery eyes. It reduces airway inflammation and allergy-triggered swelling but is not a rescue medicine for a sudden asthma attack. It should be taken regularly as advised, often in the evening for asthma or allergic rhinitis. Montelukast can rarely be linked with mood or behavior changes, sleep disturbance, agitation, depression, or suicidal thoughts, so patients and caregivers should watch for mental-health changes.

How to use

Take Montelukast Sodium 10mg once daily as advised, with or without food. Chewable tablets should be chewed before swallowing. Keep rescue inhaler available if prescribed for sudden asthma symptoms.

How it works

Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, chemicals that cause airway inflammation, narrowing, mucus production, and allergy symptoms.

Common side effects

Side effects may include headache, stomach pain, cough, fever, diarrhea, tiredness, rash, sleep disturbance, mood changes, or behavior changes.

Important information

It prevents symptoms but does not treat sudden asthma attacks. Seek urgent care for severe wheezing or breathing difficulty. Report mood, sleep, or behavior changes.
