Asthator 10mg Tablet

Asthator 10mg Tablet contains Montelukast 10mg, a leukotriene receptor antagonist formulated at the standard adult strength for the long-term prevention and management of asthma and, in eligible patients, allergic rhinitis. By blocking leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that drive airway inflammation, swelling, and mucus overproduction, Montelukast helps reduce the frequency of asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness, particularly when taken consistently as part of a daily preventive routine.

Asthator 10mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine in Malaysia. DoctorOnCall requires an online medical consultation so a doctor can assess the patient’s asthma history, current treatment, and suitability before a prescription is issued and the medicine is dispensed by a registered pharmacist.

Montelukast selectively blocks the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT1) on airway tissue, preventing leukotrienes from causing bronchoconstriction, inflammation, and increased mucus secretion. This action helps keep the airways calmer and less reactive over time, making it a maintenance therapy suited to reducing the overall frequency of asthma flare-ups rather than providing immediate relief during an acute attack.

Asthator 10mg Tablet is typically taken once daily in the evening, with or without food, exactly as prescribed by the doctor. It should be taken consistently every day, even during symptom-free periods, and should not be used as a rescue medicine for sudden breathlessness; a fast-acting reliever inhaler should still be kept on hand as directed.

The 10mg strength is intended for adult and adolescent patients as determined by the prescribing doctor, who will set the exact dose and treatment duration based on the severity of asthma or allergic rhinitis. Patients should not adjust the dose on their own and should continue treatment for as long as advised, since the full preventive benefit builds up with regular use.

Asthator 10mg Tablet should be used within the shelf life printed on the packaging when stored under proper conditions. Do not use the tablets after the expiry date shown on the box, and safely dispose of any unused or expired medicine.

Store Asthator 10mg Tablet at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, in its original packaging. Keep the medicine out of the reach of children and avoid storing it in areas with high humidity, such as the bathroom.

Asthator 10mg Tablet is generally prescribed as part of a long-term asthma or allergic rhinitis management plan and works best when taken regularly rather than only during flare-ups. Patients should monitor their symptom frequency and any side effects, particularly changes in mood or sleep, and discuss these with their doctor at scheduled reviews so that treatment can be adjusted as needed.
