Myteka tablets use

Myteka Tablets

• Active Ingredient: Montelukast

 Uses

• Asthma Treatment and Prophylaxis:
  • Myteka is prescribed for both children (above 2 years) and adults to manage chronic asthma. It helps prevent asthma symptoms during the day and night.
  • It is also used before exercise to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
• Allergy Management:
  • Myteka effectively treats symptoms related to seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever). These symptoms may include itchy and watery eyes, cough, and nasal discharge.

  Mechanism of Action:

• Myteka works by blocking leukotrienes, natural substances associated with allergic reactions. It also reduces inflammation in the airways, thus improving asthma and allergy symptoms.

  Dosage:

• Non-chewable Myteka Tablet: 10 mg
• Chewable Myteka Tablet: Available in 5 mg or 4 mg strengths
• Dosage should be adjusted based on age and individual needs.
• Take the medicine consistently at the same time each day for maximum benefit.
• Avoid repeating the dose within 24 hours to prevent overdosage.

  How to Take Myteka:

• Swallow the non-chewable tablet whole with water (do not crush or chew).
• Chewable tablets can be chewed and should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.
• Take Myteka with or without food as prescribed.

  Pregnancy and Lactation:

• Myteka has not been extensively studied in pregnant women.
• Use during pregnancy should be considered only if clearly needed.
• As for breastfeeding, it is unknown whether montelukast is excreted into human breast milk, so caution is advised.

  Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, stomach upset, and fatigue.
• Serious side effects are rare but can include behavioral changes (such as mood swings or anxiety).
• Always consult your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms.
