Product Details of Montair Chewable 5mg
Montair Chewable Tablet is a product that is favored by those who want to prevent bronchial asthma attacks.
Montair Chewable Tablet is a drug with a relatively new mechanism of action and is classified as a leukotriene receptor antagonist.
It blocks the substances that cause itching and inflammation from acting, so it is also recommended for those who cannot control their symptoms with antihistamines.
Another advantage is that you can chew and take without water.
Effect of Montair Chewable
Montair 5mg interferes with the action of leukotriene, an pro-inflammatory substance, and is effective in preventing bronchial asthma attacks and treating allergic rhinitis.
