Montiget Tablet uses include managing and preventing symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis. It contains Montelukast, which works by blocking leukotrienes in the body. Leukotrienes cause inflammation, swelling, and tightening of the airways. This leads to asthma symptoms and allergic reactions. By blocking these substances, Montiget helps to keep airways open and reduce allergic responses.
