Symkast 10 MG Tablet 10 contains montelukast (10 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• CysLT1 Receptor Inhibition: Montelukast selectively inhibits CysLT1 receptors, which are involved in producing substances that cause airway muscles to tighten and mucus and fluid to be produced in the lungs.

• Anti-inflammatory Effect: By blocking these CysLT1 receptors, montelukast reduces inflammation in the airways, thereby helping prevent asthma symptoms and allergic rhinitis.

It's important to note that montelukast is not a bronchodilator and does not provide immediate relief from acute asthma attacks.

• Store the Symkast 10 MG Tablet 10 in the original package, maintaining a dry environment.

• If you are taking Symkast 10 MG Tablet 10 to manage asthma, then avoid exposure to allergens like dust and smoke that trigger asthma attacks.
