Asmakast 10 Mg 30 Tablets

Asmakast 10 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Asmakast 10 mg 30 tablets is a prescription oral asthma medication containing montelukast, a leukotriene (cyslt1) receptor antagonist. It is used as a maintenance therapy to help control chronic asthma, prevent asthma attacks, and relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis by reducing inflammation and bronchoconstriction in the airways. Asmakast is classified as a medicine and is typically used as an add-on treatment alongside inhaled corticosteroids and other standard asthma therapies under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Long-term treatment and control of chronic bronchial asthma in adults and children as prescribed by a physician.
• Prevention of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and shortness of breath.
• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (exercise-induced asthma) when recommended by a doctor.
• Relief and control of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (such as sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itching) when montelukast is prescribed for this purpose.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Montelukast sodium – 10 mg per film-coated tablet (exact salt specification and excipients , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website).
• Other inactive ingredients (excipients, colorants, coating agents) are present but detailed composition is not available in the provided information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Asmakast 10 mg exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not change the dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
• Typical adult dose for asthma maintenance (when 10 mg strength is prescribed): 1 tablet (10 mg) once daily, usually in the evening. The exact regimen must be confirmed by the treating doctor.
• Tablets are taken orally with a glass of water and can generally be taken with or without food, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• For prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, your doctor may instruct you to take the tablet a specific time before exercise; follow your physician’s exact instructions.
• Do not use Asmakast 10 mg to treat acute asthma attacks. Always keep your fast-acting (rescue) inhaler available for sudden breathing problems.
• 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 tablet.
• Continue taking Asmakast regularly even when you feel well, as asthma control requires continuous maintenance therapy.
• Children and adolescents: dosing and suitability depend on age and body weight; only use under pediatric or specialist supervision and at the strength recommended for the child’s age group.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent bronchoconstriction by selectively blocking cyslt1 leukotriene receptors in the airways, improving breathing control.
• Reduces airway inflammation and hyper-responsiveness, contributing to better long-term asthma management.
• Decreases frequency and severity of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and night-time awakenings when used regularly as prescribed.
• May help prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms in suitable patients when used according to medical advice.
• Provides additional control of allergic rhinitis symptoms (such as sneezing and nasal congestion) in patients with concomitant asthma and allergy, when indicated.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use Asmakast 10 mg if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to montelukast or any of the tablet’s components.
• Asmakast is not indicated for the relief of acute asthma attacks. In case of sudden breathing difficulty, use your rescue inhaler and seek urgent medical help if symptoms do not improve.
• Use with caution in patients with liver impairment; dose adjustment or close monitoring may be required. Inform your doctor if you have any history of liver disease.
• Concomitant use with barbiturates or primidone (for example phenobarbital) may reduce plasma concentrations of montelukast and decrease its effectiveness; your doctor may need to adjust therapy.
• Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking, including antiepileptics, rifampicin, and other drugs that may affect liver enzymes.
• Rarely, systemic eosinophilia and Churg–Strauss-like syndrome have been reported in asthmatic patients on leukotriene antagonists; report any unusual symptoms such as rash, worsening lung symptoms, cardiac problems, or neuropathy to your doctor immediately.
• Mood and behavioral changes (including agitation, aggression, anxiety, depression, abnormal dreams, hallucinations, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, suicidal thoughts and behavior) have been reported with montelukast. Seek medical advice promptly if such symptoms appear.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a physician after assessing benefits and risks.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision. It is a prescription medicine and should be used only under healthcare professional guidance.
• Keep out of reach of children.

• Common side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, and fatigue.
• Other possible adverse effects: upper respiratory tract infections, cough, fever, rash, dizziness, and flu-like symptoms.
• Neuropsychiatric reactions have been reported, including agitation, aggression, anxiety, irritability, restlessness, tremor, sleep disturbances (insomnia, nightmares), depression, and very rarely suicidal thoughts or behavior. Seek immediate medical attention if mood or behavior changes occur.
• Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing require urgent medical attention and discontinuation of the medicine.
• Serious but rare side effects may include liver dysfunction (symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain) and vasculitis (Churg–Strauss-like syndrome). Contact your doctor immediately if such symptoms appear.
