About
Lasma 4 Tab typically refers to Montelukast 4mg, a leukotriene receptor antagonist primarily used for the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis, particularly in pediatric patients. Montelukast works by selectively blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are potent inflammatory mediators released by the body in response to allergens or other triggers. These leukotrienes contribute to bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, and airway inflammation, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion. By inhibiting these effects, Montelukast helps to reduce airway inflammation, prevent asthma attacks, and alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. It is a non-steroidal medication that provides long-term control of asthma and effective relief from allergy symptoms, improving overall respiratory function.
