Telekast 10 Tablet

Telekast 10 Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains montelukast 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the leukotriene receptor antagonist class and is used to help prevent and control asthma symptoms, rather than to relieve a sudden asthma attack. Telekast 10 Tablet may also be used for other montelukast-approved allergy-related and breathing problems when a clinician decides it is appropriate. This pack contains 10 tablets made by Lupin, India.

How it works: Montelukast in Telekast 10 Tablet blocks leukotrienes, which are natural chemicals that can tighten airways and cause swelling and mucus in the lungs. By reducing these effects, the tablet helps keep airways open and lowers the chance of asthma symptoms.

Telekast 10 Tablet is the 10 mg tablet strength of montelukast and is typically used for patients who have been assessed by a doctor for this adult-strength dose. It is not meant for quick relief during an asthma flare, and it works best when taken consistently as prescribed. A clinician may choose Telekast 10 Tablet when a 10 mg once-daily tablet is the right fit for long-term symptom control.
