About Setmont-Kid Chewable Tablet

Setmont-Kid Chewable Tablet contains an anti-allergic medication primarily used to treat seasonal allergies and Asthma. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements, known as allergens, that are typically not harmful to your body. Asthma is a local inflammatory disease of the lungs and airways, characterised by exaggerated airway narrowing and the production of excessive mucus in response to specific triggers, such as viruses, allergens, and exercise.

Setmont-Kid Chewable Tablet contains a leukotriene antagonist, Montelukast. It works by blocking a chemical messenger (leukotriene) and reduces inflammation and swelling in the airways of the lungs.
