M-KAST 10MG TABLET

Description

M-Kast 10mg Tablet is an oral prescription respiratory medication manufactured by Drug International Ltd. It contains Montelukast Sodium (10mg), which belongs to a class of medications called leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs). During an allergic reaction or asthma flare-up, the body releases inflammatory chemicals called leukotrienes, which cause airway swelling, excess mucus, and muscle tightening. M-Kast works by selectively blocking these receptors in the lungs and nasal passages, helping to reduce inflammation, keep the airways open, and ease breathing.

Uses

• Prophylaxis and Chronic Asthma Treatment: Used as a long-term daily controller medication to prevent daytime and nighttime asthma symptoms and reduce the frequency of asthma flare-ups.

• Relief of Allergic Rhinitis: Indicated to relieve symptoms of both seasonal allergies (hay fever) and perennial allergies (year-round), including nasal congestion, sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes.

• Prevention of Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm (EIB): Used to prevent sudden narrowing of the airways and shortness of breath triggered by physical exertion or exercise.

Typical Dose

• Adults and Adolescents (Ages 15 and older): The standard dosage is 1 tablet (10mg) taken once daily.

• For Asthma and Allergies: The dose is typically taken in the evening to optimize control over nighttime and early morning symptoms.

• For Exercise-Induced Bronchospasm Only: A single tablet is taken at least 2 hours before exercise. Do not take an additional dose within 24 hours.

How to Take

• Take this medication once daily at the same time each day, preferably in the evening, exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.

• It can be taken with or without food, swallowed whole with a glass of water.

• Continue taking M-Kast every day even if you feel completely better, as it works continuously to prevent symptoms rather than stop them immediately.

• Important Note: M-Kast is a preventer medication and is not a fast-acting rescue inhaler. It will not stop an acute asthma attack that has already started. Always carry your prescribed fast-acting rescue inhaler for sudden breathing emergencies.

Common Side Effects

• Headache.

• Mild abdominal pain, stomach upset, or diarrhea.

• Fever or flu-like upper respiratory symptoms (such as a sore throat or cough).

• Mild dizziness or drowsiness.
