Indications:
Montiva 4 mg is indicated for:

Relief of symptoms of allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial) in children aged 2 to 5 years
Pharmacology:
Montelukast is a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist that binds to the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT1). By inhibiting the action of leukotrienes, it reduces inflammation and bronchoconstriction in the airways, leading to improved asthma control and relief from allergic rhinitis symptoms.

Recommended dose: One 4 mg chewable tablet once daily in the evening.

Not intended for the relief of acute asthma attacks.
Interaction:

May interact with phenobarbital, phenytoin, and rifampicin, which are known to induce liver enzymes, potentially reducing the efficacy of Montelukast.
