Medicine Description lelipel 4 mg
lelipel 4 mg sachets is a medication that contains montelukast, which functions as a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It works by inhibiting the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory mediators released during asthmatic responses. By blocking these receptors, montelukast reduces bronchoconstriction, mucus production, and inflammation in the airways, leading to improved airflow and decreased asthma symptoms. Its mechanism also extends to modulating the immune response in allergic rhinitis, thereby alleviating nasal congestion, sneezing, and other allergic symptoms.
