Indokast 4 Mg Sachet – Asthma & Allergy Relief
Description
Indokast 4 mg Sachet – Montelukast for Paediatric Asthma & Allergy Relief
Indokast 4 mg Sachet contains Montelukast in granule powder form, specifically designed for children aged 6 months to 5 years. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) that blocks cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CysLT1) in the airways, preventing the bronchoconstriction, mucus production, and airway inflammation triggered by allergens and exercise. This makes it highly effective for long-term asthma prevention and control of allergic rhinitis in young children.
The sachet (granule) form makes administration easy — the powder can be mixed into soft food or liquid just before giving to the child. It provides continuous respiratory protection with once-daily dosing, reducing the frequency and severity of asthma episodes and allergy symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose.
