MONTRAL SYP 60ML

About

Montral Syrup, containing Montelukast, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist primarily used in the management of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory mediators released by the body that cause bronchoconstriction, mucus production, and inflammation in the airways. By inhibiting these effects, Montelukast helps to reduce airway inflammation, prevent bronchospasm, and alleviate symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness associated with asthma. In allergic rhinitis, it reduces nasal congestion, sneezing, and itching. The syrup formulation is particularly suitable for pediatric patients and those who have difficulty swallowing tablets, ensuring consistent dosing and improved adherence to treatment regimens. It is typically used as a long-term controller medication rather than for acute asthma attacks.
