MONTAIR 5MG (Montelukast (5mg))

Montair 5mg Tablet is indicated for the prevention of asthma episodes in pediatric patients. It is also utilized to alleviate respiratory difficulties that may arise from intense physical exertion. Additionally, this medication is effective in managing seasonal allergic reactions, characterized by symptoms such as nasal discharge, sneezing, and irritation or watering of the eyes. For optimal results, administer Montair 5mg Tablet to your child consistently, either before or after meals, following the specific dosage and time as prescribed by the healthcare provider. It may take some weeks of consistent administration for the medication to achieve its full preventive effect against asthma. For asthmatic conditions, it is advisable to give the tablet in the evening or two hours prior to engaging in physical activity. If treating allergy symptoms, evening administration is generally preferred, depending on when the symptoms manifest. In scenarios where both asthma and allergies are present, evening dosing is recommended. If your child vomits within a half hour of taking the medication, you may repeat the dose, unless it is already nearing the time for the next scheduled dose. Improvement in symptoms may be noted after a few doses; however, it is crucial to continue the full course as prescribed for maximum efficacy. Abrupt discontinuation of the medication could potentially exacerbate your child’s condition. Some minor and transient side effects may occur, including fever, headaches, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea, which typically resolve as your child’s system adjusts to the medication. If any side effects persist or cause significant discomfort, it is important to consult your child’s healthcare provider promptly. Ensure that your child’s doctor is informed of any other medications your child is taking, and provide a comprehensive medical history, including previous allergy episodes, cardiovascular issues, blood disorders, vascular conditions, congenital anomalies, respiratory obstructions, lung disorders, skin conditions, liver function, and kidney health. This comprehensive information is vital for appropriate dosing and overall treatment planning.
