Montelukast tablets are a medication primarily used to prevent asthma attacks and to control symptoms of allergic rhinitis. They belong to a class of drugs known as Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists. Here are some important points about montelukast tablets:
- Usage: Montelukast is taken to control and prevent symptoms caused by asthma, such as wheezing and shortness of breath. It’s also used before exercise to prevent breathing problems (bronchospasm) and for seasonal allergic rhinitis.
- How to Take: The medication can be taken by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. If you are using the chewable tablets, chew them thoroughly before swallowing.
- Dosage: The dosage is based on your age and medical condition. It’s crucial to take the medication at the same time each day.
- Precautions: Inform your doctor if you have any mental/mood changes, numbness/tingling/shooting pain in the arms or legs, sinus pain/swelling, muscle weakness, or uncontrolled muscle movements.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include pharyngitis, upper respiratory infection, rhinorrhea, and sinusitis. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare.
- Warnings: Do not use montelukast to stop an acute asthma attack. Always have a quick-relief inhaler with you. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Remember to read the Medication Guide provided by your pharmacist before you start taking montelukast and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
