Montelukast Sodium Tablets 5mg
Montelukast Sodium Tablets (5mg, 10mg) is an oral selective and competitive cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLT1) antagonist on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It blocks the binding of LTD4 (and LTC4/LTE4) to CysLT1 receptors on airway smooth muscle cells, bronchial mucosal endothelial cells, and eosinophils, inhibiting leukotriene-mediated bronchoconstriction, mucous hypersecretion, vascular permeability, and eosinophil migration. Indicated for prophylaxis and chronic treatment of bronchial asthma in adults and pediatric patients >=6 months, prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Montelukast Sodium Tablets 10mg
Montelukast Sodium Tablets (5mg, 10mg) is an oral selective and competitive cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLT1) antagonist on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It blocks the binding of LTD4 (and LTC4/LTE4) to CysLT1 receptors on airway smooth muscle cells, bronchial mucosal endothelial cells, and eosinophils, inhibiting leukotriene-mediated bronchoconstriction, mucous hypersecretion, vascular permeability, and eosinophil migration. Indicated for prophylaxis and chronic treatment of bronchial asthma in adults and pediatric patients >=6 months, prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Montelukast Sodium 10mg + Levocetirizine 5mg Tablets
Montelukast Sodium (4mg/10mg) and Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (2.5mg/5mg Tablets, Syrup, with or without Ambroxol SR 75mg) is a premier dual-action antiallergic and anti-inflammatory combination on the WHO Model List framework. Montelukast is a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLT1) antagonist that blocks the bronchoconstricting, mucus-secreting, and eosinophil-recruiting actions of LTD4. Levocetirizine is an active R-enantiomer second-generation H1-antihistamine that blocks histamine-mediated itching, sneezing, and vascular permeability. Together, they simultaneously block both early-phase (histamine) and late-phase (leukotriene) allergic inflammatory cascades. Indicated for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis with co-existing asthma, and chronic urticaria.
Montelukast Sodium 10mg + Fexofenadine Hydrochloride 120 mg Tablets
Montelukast Sodium (10mg) and Fexofenadine Hydrochloride (120mg Tablets, Suspension) is a non-sedating dual antiallergic combination. Fexofenadine is a pure second-generation H1-receptor antagonist that does not cross the blood-brain barrier (completely non-sedating), while montelukast blocks cysteinyl leukotriene CysLT1 receptors. Indicated for relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, nasal congestion) in patients needing daytime alertness.
Acebrophylline 200mg (Sustained Release) + Montelukast 10mg Tablets
Acebrophylline Capsules / Tablets (100mg, 200mg Sustained Release; alone or with Montelukast 10mg or Acetylcysteine 600mg) is a fixed salt of ambroxol and theophylline-7-acetic acid on the PMBI formulary. It exerts a triple therapeutic action: potent bronchodilation via phosphodiesterase inhibition; mucoregulatory and surfactant-stimulating action via ambroxol (stimulating alveolar type II pneumocytes to produce pulmonary surfactant, reducing mucus viscosity and improving mucociliary clearance); and anti-inflammatory inhibition of phospholipase A2 and leukotriene C4. Indicated for bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, and chronic spastic bronchitis with thick viscid sputum.
Desloratadine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg Tablets
Desloratadine (5mg) and Montelukast (10mg Tablets) combines the active descarboethoxyl metabolite of loratadine with a CysLT1 leukotriene antagonist. Indicated for allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma.
Montelukast 4mg + Levocetirizine 2.5mg Syrup
Montelukast Sodium (4mg/10mg) and Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride (2.5mg/5mg Tablets, Syrup, with or without Ambroxol SR 75mg) is a premier dual-action antiallergic and anti-inflammatory combination on the WHO Model List framework. Montelukast is a selective cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLT1) antagonist that blocks the bronchoconstricting, mucus-secreting, and eosinophil-recruiting actions of LTD4. Levocetirizine is an active R-enantiomer second-generation H1-antihistamine that blocks histamine-mediated itching, sneezing, and vascular permeability. Together, they simultaneously block both early-phase (histamine) and late-phase (leukotriene) allergic inflammatory cascades. Indicated for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis with co-existing asthma, and chronic urticaria.
Doxofylline (Sustained-release) 400mg + Montelukast 10mg Tablets
Doxofylline Tablets (400mg; alone or with Montelukast 10mg) is a novel xanthine derivative bronchodilator on the PMBI formulary. Unlike theophylline, it contains a dioxolane group at position 7 that specifically inhibits phosphodiesterase without binding to adenosine receptors or interfering with calcium influx. This confers potent bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory activity with dramatically fewer cardiac, gastric, and CNS side effects (negligible tachycardia, insomnia, or gastric hypersecretion) and a 10-fold wider therapeutic window. Indicated for maintenance treatment of bronchial asthma, COPD, and spastic bronchitis.
