Montair Chewable Tablets

Montair Chewable Tablets 4 mg & 5 mg

Product Overview
Montair Chewable Tablets are prescription medications used for the prevention and long-term management of asthma, allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergies, perennial allergies, and exercise-induced bronchospasm in children and adolescents. These chewable tablets provide an easy-to-administer alternative for patients who may have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets. Montair helps control allergy symptoms and supports healthy respiratory function by reducing airway inflammation and allergic responses.

Available Variants

• Montair 4 mg Chewable Tablet
• Montair 5 mg Chewable Tablet

Both variants contain Montelukast and are prescribed according to the patient’s age and medical requirements.

Active Ingredient

• Montelukast Sodium 4 mg
• Montelukast Sodium 5 mg

Montelukast belongs to a class of medications known as Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists (LTRAs).

How It Works
Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes, inflammatory chemicals released by the body during allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Leukotrienes contribute to airway narrowing, mucus production, swelling, and allergy symptoms. By blocking their action, Montair helps improve breathing, reduce inflammation, and control allergy symptoms.
