1. WHAT MONTAS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
What MONTAS is
Montas is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks substances
called leukotrienes.
HOW MONTAS WORKS
Leukotrienes cause narrowing and swelling of airways in the lungs and
also cause allergy symptoms. By
blocking leukotrienes, Montas improves asthma symptoms, helps control
asthma and improves seasonal
allergy symptoms (also known as hay fever or seasonal allergic
rhinitis).
WHEN MONTAS SHOULD BE USED
Your doctor has prescribed Montas to treat asthma, preventing your
asthma symptoms during the day and
night.
•
Montas is used for the treatment of adults and adolescents 15 years of
age and older who are not
adequately controlled on their medication and need additional therapy.
•
Montas also helps prevent the narrowing of airways triggered by
exercise.
•
In those asthmatic patients in whom MONTAS is indicated in asthma,
MONTAS can also provide
symptomatic relief of seasonal allergic rhinitis.
Montas should only be reserved to treat allergic rhinitis in patients
who are not treated effectively with or
cannot tolerate other allergy medicine.
Your doctor will determine how MONTAS should be used depending on the
symptoms and severity of your
asthma.
