Medicine Description lelipel 10 mg
lelipel 10 mg tablets is a medication that contains montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It operates by binding to leukotriene receptors in the lungs and bronchial tissues, which are typically activated by inflammatory mediators released during allergic responses and asthma exacerbations. By inhibiting these receptors, montelukast effectively prevents the action of leukotrienes—a group of chemicals that contribute to inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production. This mechanism helps to diminish airway inflammation, improve airflow, and alleviate symptoms associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis, ultimately enhancing overall respiratory function.
