Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Bronchitis, Asthma, Emphysema and Allergic rhinitis.

Medicinal Benefits:

Montek AB Tablet contains Acebrophylline and Montelukast. Acebrophylline is a bronchodilator that works by relaxing muscles and widening the airways of the lungs. Acebrophylline also has muc0-regulating/mucolytic (dissolves thick mucus and helps relieve breathing difficulties) and anti-inflammatory properties. Montelukast blocks leukotrienes (chemicals released in response when a body comes in contact with an allergen) and reduces inflammation and swelling in the nose. It also inhibits bronchoconstriction (narrowing of airways in the lungs that lead to breathing difficulties). Montelukast is also used to relieve exercise-induced bronchospasm (shortness of breath that occurs only during exercise).
