DESCRIPTION
TGP Montelukast Film Coated Tablets 10 mg contains montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking leukotrienes—substances in the body that cause airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and increased mucus production. This helps improve breathing and control symptoms of asthma and allergies. The film coated tablet formulation is intended for adult and adolescent use.
