What is this medicine?

MONTU 10 mg Tablet contains Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It is used to prevent and manage asthma symptoms and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (e.g., sneezing, stuffy/runny nose, itching). Montelukast works by blocking substances in the body called leukotrienes, which cause airway inflammation and constriction.
