Description
Myteka 5mg Tablet (Montelukast)
Myteka 5mg Tablet contains Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist for asthma prophylaxis and allergic rhinitis in children aged 6–14 years. By blocking leukotriene receptors, it reduces airway inflammation, wheezing, and seasonal allergy symptoms, and helps prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm.
Montelukast (Myteka) carries a black box warning for serious neuropsychiatric events including depression, suicidal ideation, agitation, aggression, nightmares, and behavioural changes. Stop the medicine and consult a doctor immediately if any neuropsychiatric symptoms appear. The prescribing doctor must weigh benefits versus risks, particularly in children with any history of mood or behavioural conditions.
Myteka 5mg is a daily controller medicine — it does not provide quick relief during an acute asthma attack. A rescue inhaler must always be available for emergencies.
