Montair Plus Tablet is taken orally.

Montair Plus Tablet contains two active ingredients that work in different ways to manage asthma:

• Bambuterol (10 mg): This component is converted in your body to an active form, terbutaline. As a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist, bambuterol binds to and activates beta-2 receptors in your lungs. This action leads to the relaxation of the bronchial smooth muscle, dilation of airways, and increased airflow. Thanks to its prolonged action, bambuterol allows for once-daily dosing.

• Montelukast (10 mg): This ingredient selectively binds to the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1 in your airways and lungs. It competitively blocks the binding of leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 to this receptor. Leukotrienes, released from mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils during allergic reactions, cause airway oedema, smooth muscle contraction, and increased mucus secretion. By blocking leukotriene effects, montelukast reduces inflammation and prevents airway constriction.

• Store Montair Plus Tablet at normal room temperature.

• Keep the tablets in a tightly closed container to protect them from moisture.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and excessive heat.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Remember to use the tablets before their expiry date.

• Maintain a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. These foods can boost your immune system and may help manage asthma symptoms.

• Regular gentle exercise like walking or yoga can strengthen your lungs and reduce asthma symptoms. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
