LELIPEL 10MG 20TAB

LELIPEL 10MG 20TAB

Description:

LELIPEL 10 mg 20 film-coated tablets is a prescription medicine containing montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist used in the long-term management of asthma and relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis. It helps prevent wheezing, chest tightness, and breathing difficulties by blocking inflammatory substances (leukotrienes) in the airways. LELIPEL is intended as a controller therapy and is not suitable for the immediate relief of acute asthma attacks.

Indications:

• Prophylactic (preventive) treatment and long-term management of chronic asthma in adults and children where montelukast is indicated.
• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (exercise-induced asthma) in patients where a leukotriene receptor antagonist is appropriate.
• Relief of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itching) when prescribed for this purpose.
• Reduction of nighttime asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Montelukast sodium – 10 mg per film-coated tablet (equivalent to 10 mg montelukast).
• Other excipients (tablet core and film-coating) are present but are not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Usual adult dose (for patients for whom 10 mg strength is appropriate): 1 tablet (10 mg) once daily, or as directed by your physician. The exact regimen must be determined by a healthcare professional.
• Tablets are usually taken in the evening for asthma control, with or without food, swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
• For exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, dosing schedule and timing relative to exercise should be determined by the prescribing physician.
• Continue taking LELIPEL every day as prescribed, even when you have no symptoms, to maintain asthma control.
• Do not use LELIPEL to treat sudden asthma attacks. Always keep a fast-acting inhaler (rescue inhaler) available for acute symptoms as advised by your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Use in children and special populations: dosage and suitability must be strictly determined by a physician according to age, weight, and clinical condition.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent asthma attacks by reducing inflammation and bronchoconstriction mediated by leukotrienes in the airways.
• Improves lung function and reduces asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath when used regularly.
• Decreases nighttime awakenings due to asthma, supporting better sleep quality and daily functioning.
• Provides additional control in patients whose asthma is not adequately managed with inhaled corticosteroids alone, when prescribed as add-on therapy.
• May reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis (sneezing, nasal congestion, rhinorrhea) when montelukast is used for this indication.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to montelukast or any of the tablet components.
• Not indicated for the relief of acute asthma attacks; do not use as a rescue medication. Seek immediate medical attention if breathing suddenly worsens.
• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment; dose adjustment or special monitoring may be required as determined by the physician.
• Neuropsychiatric events (such as agitation, aggressive behavior, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and very rarely suicidal thoughts and behavior) have been reported with montelukast; discontinue and seek medical advice if such symptoms occur.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Montelukast should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding; your physician will weigh the potential benefits and risks.
• Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking. Barbiturates and primidone (such as phenobarbital) may reduce plasma concentrations of montelukast and decrease its effectiveness.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of mental health disorders, seizures, or other serious medical conditions; close monitoring may be required.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without a physician’s supervision. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and the patient information leaflet.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue.
• Other possible side effects can include upper respiratory tract infections, cough, dizziness, rash, and fever.
• Neuropsychiatric side effects such as sleep disturbances (including nightmares), agitation, irritability, anxiety, depression, and very rarely suicidal thoughts or behavior have been reported. Seek medical attention immediately if mood or behavior changes occur.
• Allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing) are rare but require urgent medical attention.
