Product Details

Montiget 5mg Tablets contain Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) that helps manage asthma and allergies by preventing airway narrowing caused by inflammation. This medication works by blocking chemicals known as leukotrienes, which can cause the airways to tighten. Montiget helps reduce symptoms and offers relief, particularly for individuals suffering from asthma and allergic rhinitis.

Purposes

The primary purpose of Montiget 5mg Tablets is to prevent and manage conditions like asthma, perennial allergic rhinitis, and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. It is also used to alleviate symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergies. However, it is important to note that this medication is not intended for treating acute asthma attacks.

Warnings

Do not abruptly stop using inhaled or oral corticosteroids when starting  Tablets. Patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma should continue to avoid taking aspirin or NSAIDs. Additionally, monitor for neuropsychiatric changes, such as mood swings or anxiety, and inform your healthcare provider if these occur.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Tablets may include abdominal pain, headache, and thirst. Rare but serious side effects include allergic reactions like anaphylaxis or angioedema, seizures, and gastrointestinal upset. Contact your doctor if any of these symptoms worsen or persist.

Cautions

Patients are advised to always keep rescue medication for asthma attacks on hand, as Tablets should not be used for immediate relief during an acute attack. If additional inhaler use becomes frequent, seek medical attention. As always, consult with your healthcare provider before using during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
