Description
Aerokast Tablets 5mg — Montelukast Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist
Aerokast Tablets 5mg contain Montelukast Sodium 5mg, indicated for the prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma in children aged 6 to 14 years, and for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. It is also used to relieve symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis. As a selective CysLT1 receptor antagonist, Montelukast blocks the action of leukotrienes that cause airway inflammation and narrowing, improving respiratory function with long-term use.
- Asthma prophylaxis in children aged 6–14 years
- Prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in paediatric patients
- Relief of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms
- Reduces airway inflammation through CysLT1 receptor blockade
- Convenient once-daily dosing for long-term management
Dosage and Administration
Take one Aerokast 5mg tablet once daily in the evening, with or without food, as prescribed by the physician. Swallow whole with water. This is a long-term preventive medicine — it should not be used to treat an acute asthma attack. In case of acute bronchospasm, use the prescribed rescue inhaler immediately. Do not discontinue without medical guidance. Prescription required.
