Monocare 5mg Tablet 10 is given orally.

Monocare 5mg Tablet 10 contains montelukast (5 mg), which acts on your child's body in several ways:

• Blocking Leukotrienes: Montelukast works by obstructing the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory chemicals released during an asthma attack. These chemicals can cause swelling and tightening of airways.

• Reducing Airway Inflammation: Montelukast effectively decreases inflammation in the airways by blocking leukotrienes, making it easier for your child to breathe.

• Preventing Asthma Symptoms: Montelukast helps prevent common asthma symptoms such as difficulty breathing and mucus secretion by reducing damage to the lining of the airways.

• Decreasing Sensitivity: Montelukast also reduces the sensitivity of airways to allergens and exercise, thereby preventing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction or narrowing of airways during physical activity.

• Keep Monocare 5mg Tablet 10 stored at room temperature.

• Shield it from exposure to bright light and dampness. Do not store it in the bathroom.

• Place the medicine where your child cannot reach it.

• Always check the expiry date before giving the medicine to your child.

• Encourage your child to engage in moderate physical activity daily. Regular exercise can help manage asthma symptoms and lessen the frequency of attacks.

• Monitor your child's diet to reduce potential allergens. Foods like eggs, peanuts, and seafood can trigger asthma symptoms; consider limiting these in their meals.
