Overview

Airlukast 10mg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Montelukast Sodium equivalent to Montelukast 10mg. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Airlukast 10mg Tablet is taken once daily as directed by the prescribing doctor, usually in the evening, and should be swallowed whole with water, with or without food. It should be taken regularly, even when asthma symptoms are well controlled, and must not be used to relieve a sudden asthma attack, for which a fast-acting reliever inhaler is still needed.

Dosage

The usual dose for adults and adolescents aged 15 years and above is one 10mg tablet taken once daily in the evening, exactly as prescribed by the doctor following the online consultation. The dose should not be adjusted or stopped without medical advice, even if asthma or allergy symptoms improve, as montelukast works best as part of a consistent, ongoing treatment plan.

Shelf Life

Airlukast 10mg Tablet typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly in its original, unopened packaging. Always check the expiry date printed on the blister strip and carton before use.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until ready for use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children at all times.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Certain medicines that induce liver enzymes, such as phenobarbital and rifampicin, may reduce the effectiveness of montelukast
