About Monhale-4 Suspension

Monhale-4 Suspension contains an anti-allergic medication primarily used to treat seasonal allergies and asthma. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements, known as allergens, typically not harmful to your body. Asthma is a local inflammatory disease of the lungs & airways associated with exaggerated airway narrowing and may produce extra mucus due to specific triggers like viruses, allergens & exercise.

Monhale-4 Suspension contains a leukotriene antagonist, Montelukast. It works by blocking a chemical messenger (leukotriene) and reduces inflammation and swelling of airways in the lungs. This makes breathing easier and prevents asthma attacks. Leukotrienes are also released in your body when you have an allergic reaction to something like dust or pollen. Monhale-4 Suspension helps to reduce the level of leukotrienes and stops you from getting symptoms.

Take Monhale-4 Suspension as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Monhale-4 Suspension for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending upon your medical condition. It can be taken with or without food. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as diarrhoea, headache, abdominal cramps, flu-like symptoms, nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before starting Monhale-4 Suspension , inform your doctor if you have severe liver problems. Concurrent use of Monhale-4 Suspension with alcohol or other antidepressants should be avoided as they may reduce your mental alertness. Even if you are asymptomatic and feel good, do not stop taking Monhale-4 Suspension , as stopping suddenly may lead to an acute attack of Asthma.
