About MONTASMA 10MG TABLET

MONTASMA 10MG TABLET 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.

MONTASMA 10MG TABLET contains a leukotriene antagonist, Montelukast. It works by blocking a chemical messenger (leukotriene) and reduces inflammation and swelling of airways in the lungs.
