Lelipel 4 Mg 14 Sachets

Lelipel 4 Mg 14 Sachets

Description:

Lelipel 4 mg is a prescription oral anti-asthma medicine containing montelukast, presented as granules in single-dose sachets. It is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used as maintenance therapy to help control chronic asthma, prevent asthma symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath, and reduce inflammation in the airways. Lelipel 4 mg 14 sachets is typically used in pediatric patients as part of long-term asthma management, under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Long-term treatment and prophylaxis of chronic asthma.
• Prevention of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
• Reduction of airway inflammation mediated by leukotrienes.
• May be used as add-on therapy in patients not adequately controlled with inhaled corticosteroids, as directed by a physician.
• Not intended for relief of acute asthma attacks (status asthmaticus or sudden bronchospasm).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Montelukast sodium – 4 mg per sachet (as oral granules).
• Excipients: Specific inactive ingredients (sweeteners, fillers, flavoring agents, stabilizers) are not listed in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.). Full excipient list is unavailable; please refer to the printed package leaflet.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by a physician, especially in children.
• Typical pediatric dose: 4 mg once daily for eligible age groups, usually in the evening, or as directed by the doctor. Exact age range and dosing schedule must follow the official prescribing information.
• Administration: Open one sachet and pour the oral granules directly into the mouth, or mix with a small amount of soft food (e.g., applesauce) at room temperature. Do not store any mixture for later use; administer immediately.
• Can be taken with or without food, at the same time each day for best control of asthma symptoms.
• Do not use Lelipel 4 mg to treat sudden asthma attacks. A fast-acting rescue inhaler should be used for acute symptoms as advised by the doctor.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting the healthcare provider, even if symptoms improve.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps control chronic asthma by blocking leukotriene (CysLT1) receptors involved in bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation.
• Reduces frequency and severity of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing at night, and chest tightness.
• Improves lung function and breathing comfort when used regularly as maintenance therapy.
• May decrease the need for rescue bronchodilators when used as part of a comprehensive asthma management plan.
• Convenient oral granule form in sachets, suitable for children who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment; dose adjustment or close monitoring may be required as per physician guidance.
• Drug interactions: Barbiturates and primidone (e.g., phenobarbital) may reduce plasma concentrations of montelukast and decrease its effectiveness. Inform your doctor about all medications being taken.
• Rare neuropsychiatric events (including agitation, aggression, anxiety, depression, abnormal dreams, hallucinations, suicidal thoughts and behavior) have been reported with montelukast. Caregivers should monitor for behavioral or mood changes and report them immediately to a healthcare professional.
