xWhat Is Aerokast Sachets 4mg?
Aerokast Sachets 4mg contain Montelukast Sodium oral granules, made by Barrett Hodgson Pakistan. The granule form is designed for young children who cannot chew or swallow tablets, and is used for the long-term control of asthma and allergy symptoms. This medicine requires a prescription.
How It Works
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It blocks leukotrienes, natural chemicals that make the airways swell, tighten and produce mucus during asthma and allergic reactions.
Uses
Prescribed for children aged 6 months to 5 years for the long-term management of asthma, and for relief of seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny or blocked nose).
How to Give It
Give one sachet once daily in the evening, or as your child's doctor directs. Open the sachet just before use and either place the granules directly in the child's mouth, or mix them with a spoonful of soft food at room temperature (such as yogurt or apple puree), or with baby formula or breast milk. Give the full mixture within 15 minutes. Do not dissolve the granules in other drinks.
Side Effects
Possible effects include diarrhoea, fever, headache, stomach pain and cold-like symptoms. Rarely, children may show mood or behaviour changes such as nightmares, sleep problems, irritability or agitation. Stop and speak to your doctor if you notice these.
Precautions
Aerokast does not relieve a sudden asthma attack; keep your child's rescue inhaler available. Continue other asthma medicines unless the doctor advises otherwise. Store below 30°C in a dry place.
