MONTEK BL 40 TABLET 10'S

How MONTEK BL 40 TABLET 10'S Works

• MONTEK BL 40 TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to manage symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma. It combines the effects of Montelukast and Bilastine to provide comprehensive relief.
• Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA), works by blocking the action of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are inflammatory chemicals released by the body in response to allergens or other triggers. These chemicals cause inflammation, bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the airways), and mucus production in the lungs, leading to asthma symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. In allergic rhinitis, leukotrienes contribute to nasal congestion, sneezing, and runny nose. By blocking leukotrienes, Montelukast helps to reduce inflammation in the airways and nasal passages, thereby alleviating asthma and allergy symptoms.
• Bilastine, an antihistamine, works by blocking histamine receptors. Histamine is another chemical released by the body during an allergic reaction. It binds to histamine receptors in various tissues, causing symptoms like itching, sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes. Bilastine selectively blocks the H1 histamine receptors, preventing histamine from binding and triggering these allergic symptoms. Unlike some older antihistamines, Bilastine is less likely to cause drowsiness because it has a lower tendency to cross the blood-brain barrier.
• The combined action of Montelukast and Bilastine addresses multiple pathways involved in allergic and inflammatory responses. Montelukast targets leukotrienes to reduce inflammation and bronchoconstriction in the lungs and nasal passages, while Bilastine blocks histamine to alleviate immediate allergic symptoms. This dual mechanism provides more effective symptom control than either medication alone.
• Specifically, in patients with asthma, Montelukast helps to prevent bronchospasm triggered by allergens, exercise, cold air, or other irritants. It also reduces the need for rescue inhalers. In patients with allergic rhinitis, Bilastine provides rapid relief from sneezing, runny nose, itching, and watery eyes, improving their quality of life. The combined effect ensures round-the-clock control of both asthma and allergy symptoms, leading to better overall respiratory health and well-being.
