Montair 5 mg Tablet

Montair 5 mg Tablet, made by CCL Pharmaceuticals Ltd, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Its active ingredient is Montelukast 5mg, and it is used for asthma, exercise-induced breathing problems and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Pack size: 14 tablets.

Uses of Montair 5 mg Tablet

Montair 5 mg 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 Montair 5 mg 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 Montair 5 mg Tablet include:

• Headache
• Stomach pain
• Diarrhoea
• Upper respiratory infections
• 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.
