Monokast Ab Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Monokast Ab Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Montelukast (10 mg): Classified as a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA), montelukast works by blocking leukotriene receptors that are usually activated by inflammatory chemicals released by the body in response to allergens or other triggers. By doing so, montelukast reduces inflammation and bronchoconstriction while mitigating allergic responses.
• Acebrophylline (200 mg): As a derivative of xanthine with antiinflammatory, bronchodilator and mucolytic properties, acebrophylline works by inhibiting phosphodiesterase enzymes. This leads to increased levels of cyclic AMP, which produces bronchodilation. Its mucolytic action aids in dissolving thick mucus secretions.

Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to control asthma and COPD symptoms effectively. The sustained-release formulation further facilitates convenient once-daily dosing.
