Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Montelukast Unimark used for?+
Montelukast Unimark is prescribed for long‑term asthma maintenance, prevention of exercise‑induced bronchoconstriction, and relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis such as nasal congestion, sneezing and itching.
How does montelukast sodium work in the body?+
Montelukast sodium blocks the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1, preventing leukotriene‑D4 from causing bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation. This action helps keep the airways open and reduces allergic inflammation.
What is the usual dose of Montelukast Unimark?+
The specific dose of Montelukast Unimark is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition and clinical response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is Montelukast Unimark safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Montelukast Unimark in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare provider.

How does Montelukast compare with other asthma treatments?+
Montelukast belongs to the leukotriene receptor antagonist class, offering an oral alternative to inhaled corticosteroids or long‑acting beta‑agonists. It is particularly useful for patients who need additional control of allergic components or who prefer a once‑daily tablet, but it is not a rescue medication for acute attacks.

Montelukast Unimark should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain stability.

What are the most serious risks associated with Montelukast Unimark?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, mood changes including suicidal thoughts, and rare skin reactions like Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience any of these symptoms.
Who should not use Montelukast Unimark?+
Montelukast Unimark is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to montelukast or any of its excipients. It should also be avoided as a sole treatment for acute asthma attacks, which require rapid‑acting bronchodilators.
