Description
Myteka 4mg Tablet (Montelukast)
Myteka 4mg Tablet contains Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for asthma prophylaxis and allergic rhinitis in children aged 2–5 years. It works by blocking leukotrienes — natural substances that cause airway inflammation, chest tightening, and mucus production — reducing the frequency and severity of asthma symptoms and seasonal allergy reactions.
Montelukast (Myteka) carries a black box warning for serious neuropsychiatric events including depression, suicidal thoughts or behaviour, agitation, aggression, nightmares, hallucinations, and behavioural changes. Discontinue immediately if any of these symptoms occur and consult a doctor. Weigh benefits against risks before starting, especially in patients with a history of psychiatric illness.
Myteka 4mg is a daily controller medicine — it is not a rescue inhaler and should not be used for sudden asthma attacks. Continue regular dosing as prescribed even when the child feels well.
