Mont 4 MG Tablet 10 contains montelukast (4 mg) which acts on the body as follows:

• Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist: Montelukast works by blocking substances called leukotrienes in the body. Leukotrienes cause inflammation and narrowing in the airways which can lead to asthma symptoms.

• Reduces Airway Inflammation: By blocking these leukotrienes, montelukast helps reduce inflammation in the airways, helping manage asthma symptoms and prevent asthma attacks.

• Prevents Pathophysiologic Effects: Leukotrienes play a key role in inducing pathophysiologic effects related to asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montelukast, by inhibiting these leukotrienes, helps prevent these effects, contributing to symptom relief.

• Store Mont 4 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 30°C.

• Avoid exposing the medicine to excessive light or moisture.

• Always keep it out of the reach of children.

• Ensure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If your child has asthma, avoid exposure to allergens like dust mites and pet dander, which can trigger symptoms. Regular cleaning of your home can help reduce these allergens.

• Encourage your child to engage in regular physical activity. However, warming up before exercise and cooling down afterwards can help prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
