• Montas is indicated in the treatment of asthma as add -on therapy is those patients with mild to moderate persistent asthma who are inadequately controlled on inhaled corticosteroids and in whom “as-needed” short-acting B-agonists provide inadequate clinical control of asthma.
• Montas helps stop your airways from narrowing (caused by inflammation). This makes breathing easier and prevents asthma attacks.
Benefit or Uses:
• Preventing wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma
• Reducing the number of asthma attacks.
• It is used to prevent the symptoms of asthma. It's usually prescribed when asthma is mild and can stop it from getting worse.
• It can also help people with asthma who have breathing difficulties when they exercise (exercise-induced asthma) and seasonal allergies, such as sneezing, itchiness, and a blocked or runny nose (allergic rhinitis).
• Montelukast is sometimes given to people without asthma to treat hives (urticaria) that last for a long time (more than 6 weeks).
