montelukast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Montelukast Teva is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks substances called\u00a0leukotrienes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leukotrienes\u00a0cause contraction and swelling of the airways in the lungs and also cause allergic symptoms.\u00a0By blocking the\u00a0leukotrienes, Montelukast Teva improves the symptoms of\u00a0asthma, helps control\u00a0asthma,\u00a0and improves the symptoms of seasonal\u00a0allergies\u00a0(so-called hay fever or seasonal allergic\u00a0rhinitis\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your doctor has prescribed Montelukast Teva to treat your\u00a0asthma, thus preventing asthma symptoms during the day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Montelukast Teva 10 mg film-coated tablets are used to treat patients 15 years of age or older who do not have adequate control over previous asthma medication and therefore need additional treatment.\u00a0In patients with\u00a0asthma\u00a0and seasonal\u00a0allergies, Montelukast Teva 10 mg film-coated tablets can also treat your allergic symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Montelukast Teva 10 mg film-coated tablets also prevent asthma symptoms associated with physical exertion in patients aged 15 years or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is\u00a0asthma?<\/strong> Symptoms of\u00a0asthma\u00a0include cough, wheezing, and tightness in the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is a seasonal\u00a0allergy<\/strong>?
