xWhat Is Aerokast Tablets?
Aerokast Tablets 4mg contain Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist manufactured by Barrett Hodgson Pakistan, used for the prevention and long-term management of asthma and allergic rhinitis. This medicine requires a prescription.
How It Works
Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause airway narrowing and inflammation. By stopping this action, it helps keep airways open and reduces asthma and allergy symptoms.
Uses
Aerokast is used for the long-term management of asthma, prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis (perennial and seasonal). The 4mg chewable tablet is intended for children aged 2 to 5 years.
Dosage
One 4mg tablet chewed once daily in the evening for children aged 2 to 5 years, or as directed by your physician. Montelukast is not intended for treating an acute asthma attack.
Side Effects
Common effects include abdominal pain, headache, and thirst. Rarely, more serious effects such as allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), swelling (angioedema), or seizures have been reported.
Precautions
Never use montelukast to treat a sudden asthma attack; keep the usual fast-acting rescue inhaler on hand for that purpose. Do not stop or reduce inhaled or oral corticosteroids without your doctor's advice when starting montelukast. Watch for and report any mood or behaviour changes to your doctor.
