Provair ODT Tablet 5 mg is an orodispersible tablet containing Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the prevention and management of asthma and allergic conditions. The ODT formulation dissolves quickly on the tongue without the need for water, making it ideal for children, elderly patients, or anyone with difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes—natural chemicals in the body that trigger airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production. By inhibiting these reactions, Provair ODT helps reduce asthma symptoms, prevent asthma attacks, and relieve allergy-related issues such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. Regular use ensures long-term control of chronic respiratory conditions and supports healthy lung function.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Montelukast Sodium – 5 mg

Mechanism of Action

Montelukast is a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA). Leukotrienes contribute to allergic and asthma-related symptoms by:

• Narrowing the airways (bronchoconstriction)

• Causing inflammation and swelling of the airways

• Increasing mucus secretion

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