Yes, you can generally receive vaccines while using your Formoflo 250 Transhaler (fluticasone/formoterol) and Montek BL (bilastine/montelukast). These daily controller medications and your allergy levels do not interfere with how vaccines work. In fact, staying up-to-date on vaccines like the flu shot is highly recommended to protect your lungs. However, since you mentioned your asthma is poorly controlled, it is very important to consult your prescribing doctor before getting vaccinated. They will want to ensure you are not experiencing an active, severe asthma flare-up on the day of your appointment.

what is the purpose of the medicine and ingredients?

Montek BL Tablet is a medicine used to treat allergies and breathing problems. It contains Montelukast, which blocks substances called leukotrienes that cause airway swelling and asthma symptoms, and Bilastine, an antihistamine that reduces sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and itching. Together, they help relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis (seasonal or year-round allergies) and also support people with asthma linked to allergies by improving breathing and controlling inflammation.

When should I take Montek BL Tablet before food or after food?

Montek BL Tablet can be taken with or without food, but it should always be swallowed with plain water, not with fruit juices such as orange, apple, or grapefruit, as these can reduce its effectiveness. Because the exact timing may vary depending on your health condition and other medications, it is important to follow your doctor’s specific instructions for the safest and most effective use.
