Scientific Evidence

Montelukast, the active ingredient in Clast tablets, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of leukotrienes in the body. Leukotrienes are chemicals in the body that can cause asthma symptoms and inflammation. Clinical studies have shown that montelukast is effective in improving lung function, reducing asthma symptoms, and decreasing the frequency of asthma attacks.

Additional Information

It is important to note that Clast (montelukast) coated tablets are not meant for the treatment of acute asthma attacks but rather for long-term asthma management. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or changing any asthma medications.

Research has also indicated that montelukast may have a role in managing allergic rhinitis and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, further highlighting its versatility in respiratory conditions.
