Provair Tablet 10 mg contains Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the prevention and management of asthma and allergic conditions. Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production in the airways. By inhibiting these reactions, Provair helps improve breathing, reduce asthma symptoms, and prevent allergic responses such as nasal congestion and sneezing.

This medication is commonly prescribed for patients with chronic asthma, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and allergic rhinitis. Unlike fast-acting bronchodilators, Provair Tablet provides preventive control and should be taken regularly as prescribed, even when symptoms are not present. Regular use helps maintain long-term respiratory health and reduces the risk of asthma attacks.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Montelukast Sodium – 10 mg

Mechanism of Action

Montelukast is a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist. Leukotrienes are inflammatory chemicals released during allergic reactions or asthma exacerbations that cause:

• Narrowing of the airways (bronchoconstriction)

• Increased mucus secretion

• Swelling and inflammation of the airways

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