Information about Glemont-F Tablet

Glemont-F Tablet is a combination medication used primarily to manage and prevent symptoms associated with respiratory conditions like asthma and allergic rhinitis. It contains two active ingredients: Montelukast and Fexofenadine.

Active Ingredients:

• Montelukast: A leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking substances in the body called leukotrienes, which cause symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montelukast helps reduce inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production.

• Fexofenadine: A second-generation antihistamine that helps reduce the effects of the natural chemical histamine in the body, which can cause symptoms like sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Glemont-F Tablet is commonly prescribed for:

• Allergic rhinitis (seasonal allergies)
• Chronic urticaria (hives)
• Asthma management (especially in preventing asthma symptoms)

Dosage:

The dosage depends on the patient's age, the severity of symptoms, and the specific condition being treated. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of use.
