MONTEKAST 10MG TAB 14’S

Montelukast sodium 10mg tablets exert their therapeutic effect primarily by selectively inhibiting the action of cysteinyl leukotrienes, which are potent inflammatory mediators. This mechanism is crucial in the treatment of asthma and allergic conditions. Montelukast blocks the leukotriene receptors in various cells, including airway smooth muscle cells and mast cells, preventing the binding of leukotrienes. By doing so, it inhibits bronchoconstriction, reduces mucus secretion, and diminishes the inflammatory response in the airways, thereby alleviating asthma symptoms and providing relief from allergic reactions.
