Provair ODT Tablet 4 mg is an orodispersible tablet containing Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the prevention and management of asthma and allergic conditions in children and adults who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets. The ODT (orodispersible tablet) formulation dissolves quickly on the tongue without the need for water, making it convenient for pediatric use and patients with swallowing difficulties.

Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes—substances in the body responsible for airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production. By preventing the action of leukotrienes, Provair ODT helps reduce asthma symptoms, prevent asthma attacks, and relieve allergy-related issues such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Regular use of Provair ODT provides preventive control over chronic respiratory conditions and supports long-term lung health.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Montelukast Sodium – 4 mg

Mechanism of Action

Montelukast is a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist. Leukotrienes play a key role in allergic reactions and asthma by:

• Narrowing the airways (bronchoconstriction)

• Causing swelling and inflammation of airway tissues

• Increasing mucus secretion

By blocking leukotriene receptors, Montelukast prevents these effects, helping maintain open airways, reducing inflammation, and improving airflow. Unlike corticosteroids, Montelukast works systemically without suppressing the immune system, making it safe for long-term preventive therapy.
