Montair 5 mg Tablets contain Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist that helps manage and prevent asthma symptoms and allergic rhinitis. By blocking leukotrienes—substances responsible for inflammation and allergic reactions—Montair aids in reducing airway inflammation, easing breathing, and alleviating allergy symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose.

• Prevents asthma attacks and controls chronic asthma symptoms

• Alleviates symptoms of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis

• Helps prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction when taken prior to physical activity

• Once-daily dosing enhances patient compliance

• Non-steroidal option for long-term respiratory and allergy management

Take Montair 5 mg Tablets orally with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. For asthma management, it is typically taken in the evening. For exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, take the tablet at least 2 hours before exercise.
