Sincast (Montelukast Sodium) Tablets – Asthma Treatment & Prevention | 4mg & 5mg

About Sincast Montelukast Sodium

Sincast Montelukast Sodium is a trusted anti-asthma medication designed to help control and prevent asthma symptoms in both adults and children. It belongs to a class of medicines known as leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs), which work by blocking the effects of leukotrienes—chemicals in the body that cause airway inflammation, swelling, and tightening.

By reducing inflammation and relaxing airway muscles, Sincast Montelukast Sodium helps patients breathe more easily and experience fewer asthma attacks. It is especially helpful for people whose asthma symptoms are triggered by allergens, cold air, or exercise.

This medication can be used as a stand-alone preventive treatment or in combination with inhaled corticosteroids and other asthma medications to achieve optimal control.

How Sincast Montelukast Sodium Works

Leukotrienes are natural inflammatory chemicals released during an allergic reaction or asthma episode. They cause the airways to tighten and fill with mucus, making breathing difficult. Sincast Montelukast Sodium works by selectively blocking leukotriene receptors in the lungs and airways. This action helps:

• Prevent airway constriction

• Reduce inflammation and mucus buildup

• Decrease asthma attacks and nighttime symptoms

• Improve overall lung function

Therapeutic Benefits

• Long-term asthma control: Helps manage chronic asthma and reduce flare-ups.

• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB): Protects the lungs before physical activity.

• Non-steroidal option: Provides asthma management without corticosteroid exposure.

• Improved sleep and daily function: Reduces nighttime wheezing and coughing.

• Convenient dosing: Taken orally once per day, making adherence easier.

Dosage and Administration

• Available Doses: 4 mg and 5 mg chewable tablets.

• Administration: Take one dose daily in the evening, or exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

• With or Without Food: Can be taken with meals or on an empty stomach.

• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it when remembered. Skip it if it is almost time for the next dose—do not double up.

Always follow your healthcare provider’s directions precisely. The effectiveness of Sincast Montelukast Sodium depends on consistent, daily use—even when symptoms are not present.

Safety Information and Precautions

• Not a rescue medication: Do not use Sincast Montelukast Sodium to treat sudden asthma attacks. Keep a fast-acting inhaler available at all times.
