Medicine Description kast 10 mg
Kast 10 mg 10 tablets is a medication containing montelukast, which functions as a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It effectively blocks the action of leukotrienes, inflammatory chemicals released in response to allergens. By inhibiting these receptors, montelukast decreases bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion, alleviating symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis and asthma. This mechanism helps in reducing inflammation and improving airway function, contributing to a better quality of life for patients experiencing respiratory conditions.
