Montek AB Tablet is used to treat and prevent respiratory disorders like asthma attacks, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and allergic rhinitis (hay fever). It contains Acebrophylline and Montelukast, which work by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Also, it dissolves thick mucus and helps relieve breathing difficulties. It blocks the leukotrienes (chemicals released in response when a body comes in contact with an allergen), thereby reduces inflammation and swelling in the nose. It also inhibits bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways in the lungs that lead to breathing difficulties). It may cause common side effects such as headache, sore throat/cough, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhoea, heartburn, runny nose, rash, itching, drowsiness, restlessness, abdominal pain (stomach pain), and nasal inflammation. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
