Scientific Evidence

Montelukast, the active ingredient in Montel 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 by constricting airways, increasing mucus production, and inflammation. By inhibiting leukotriene receptors, Montel helps to reduce these symptoms and improve asthma control.

Clinical trials have shown that montelukast is effective in improving lung function, reducing asthma symptoms, and decreasing the frequency of asthma attacks. A study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology demonstrated that montelukast significantly improved asthma control compared to a placebo, with a good safety profile.

Additional Information

It is important to note that Montel tablets are not meant for the relief of acute asthma attacks and should be used regularly as prescribed by a healthcare professional for optimal benefit. If asthma symptoms worsen or do not improve with Montel, consult your doctor for a review of your treatment plan.

Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting Montel to prevent any potential drug interactions.
