Medicine Description kast 5mg
Kast 5 mg 14 tablets is a medication that functions as a leukotriene receptor antagonist. By blocking leukotrienes, which are inflammatory chemicals produced by the immune system during an allergic response, montelukast helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis. This action reduces bronchoconstriction, decreases mucus production, and diminishes inflammation within the airways. Consequently, the medication enhances airflow, decreases wheezing, and improves overall respiratory function, making it an effective option for managing chronic respiratory conditions.
