About this product

Overview

MNTK 10mg Tablet contains Montelukast, which belongs to a class of medications known as leukotriene receptor antagonists. It is used in the treatment and prevention of asthma and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Montelukast works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are substances in the body that contribute to inflammation, bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), and allergic symptoms.

Uses

MNTK 10mg Tablet is prescribed for the following conditions:

  1. Asthma: It helps to control asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness by reducing inflammation and bronchoconstriction.
  2. Allergic Rhinitis: Effective in the treatment and prevention of allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, runny or itchy nose, nasal congestion, and itching of the eyes or nose.

Side Effects

While MNTK 10mg Tablet is generally well-tolerated, it can cause some side effects in some individuals, including:

  1. Headache: Mild to moderate headache may occur in some patients.
  2. Gastrointestinal Disturbances: Including nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.
  3. Dizziness: Some individuals may experience dizziness or lightheadedness.
  4. Fatigue: Feeling tired or weak may occur, especially during the initial days of treatment.
  5. Behavioral Changes: Rarely, Montelukast has been associated with neuropsychiatric side effects such as agitation, aggression, anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors, particularly in children and adolescents.

Precautions

Before taking MNTK 10mg Tablet, consider the following precautions:

  1. Medical History: Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially liver disease, kidney disease, or mental health disorders.
  2. Pregnancy and Lactation: Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using this medication.
  3. Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking, as Montelukast may interact with certain medications, including other asthma medications and anticoagulants.
  4. Allergic Reactions: If you experience any signs of allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.

When Not to Use

MNTK 10mg Tablet should not be used in the following situations:

  1. Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to Montelukast or any other ingredients in the tablet.
  2. Acute Asthma Attack: It is not intended for the relief of acute asthma attacks. For sudden asthma symptoms, use a fast-acting inhaler as prescribed by your doctor.
