Product Overview
Lukotas is a medication containing the active ingredient Montelukast. It belongs to a class of drugs known as leukotriene receptor antagonists. Lukotas is available in tablet form and is commonly used to manage asthma and relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes, which are chemicals in the body that contribute to inflammation and allergic reactions in the airways and nasal passages.
Uses
Lukotas is primarily used to prevent and manage asthma symptoms, including wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. It is also indicated for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, a condition characterized by symptoms such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itching, and nasal congestion due to allergies.
How to Use
Lukotas tablets are typically taken orally, with or without food. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist carefully. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
How it Works
Montelukast, the active ingredient in Lukotas, works by blocking leukotrienes, which are inflammatory substances released by the body in response to allergens. By blocking leukotrienes, Lukotas helps to reduce inflammation, swelling, and mucus production in the airways, thereby improving breathing and relieving symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Lukotas varies depending on the individual’s age, weight, and the severity of their condition. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Lukotas is not intended for use as a rescue medication for acute asthma attacks. If you experience sudden worsening of asthma symptoms, use a rescue inhaler as directed by your doctor.
Benefits
Lukotas offers several benefits for individuals with asthma and allergic rhinitis. It helps prevent asthma attacks, reduces the frequency and severity of symptoms, improves lung function, and provides relief from symptoms of allergic rhinitis, such as nasal congestion and sneezing. Lukotas is also available in a convenient tablet form, making it easy to take.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects of Lukotas may include headache, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, and they may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Warnings
Lukotas should not be used to treat acute asthma attacks. If you experience sudden worsening of asthma symptoms, seek immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor about any other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking, as they may interact with Lukotas.
