TELEKAST PLUS TABLET

Uses and Benefits of TELEKAST PLUS TABLET (Montelukast 10mg + Bambuterol 10mg)

This combination is prescribed for the long-term control of asthma and conditions involving narrowed airways, especially where both inflammation and airway tightness are contributing to symptoms.

• Reducing the frequency of asthma attacks
• Managing exercise-induced breathing difficulty in some patients
• Add-on therapy when asthma is not fully controlled with a single medicine

HOW IT WORKS

• Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause airway inflammation, swelling, and mucus production
• Bambuterol is converted in the body to a bronchodilator that relaxes the muscles of the airways, making breathing easier

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not for treating a sudden asthma attack or acute breathlessness
• Not a rescue inhaler substitute
