Dune 5mg Tablet

Dune 5mg Tablet is a tablet made by Scotman Pharmaceuticals that contains Montelukast 5mg, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It is used for asthma, exercise-induced breathing problems and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Pack size: 1×14 tablets.

Uses of Dune 5mg Tablet

Dune 5mg Tablet is used for the long-term control of asthma in adults and children, and to help prevent narrowing of the airways triggered by exercise. It is also used to relieve symptoms of seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis, such as a blocked or runny nose and sneezing.

How Dune 5mg Tablet works

Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, chemicals released in the airways that cause swelling, mucus and tightening of the airway muscles. This helps keep the airways open. It is a preventer, not a reliever, so it does not stop an asthma attack that has already started.

Possible side effects

Common side effects of Dune 5mg Tablet include:

• Headache
• Stomach pain
• Diarrhoea

• Tiredness

Talk to a doctor promptly if you or your child notice mood or behaviour changes, such as nightmares, agitation, anxiety, depression or unusual thoughts.
