Montree-10mg

BENEFITS:

• Prevents and treats asthma symptoms, such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
• Reduces the number and severity of asthma attacks.
• Relieves symptoms of seasonal allergies (allergic rhinitis) such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, and itchy or watery eyes.
• Helps to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm.

HOW IT WORKS:

• Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist.
• It works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, substances in the body that cause the symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis.
• By inhibiting leukotrienes, montelukast reduces inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production, leading to improved breathing and reduced allergy symptoms.
