KAST 5 mg contains Montelukast Sodium equivalent to Montelukast 5 mg. It belongs to a group of medicines called leukotriene receptor antagonists. These medicines help reduce airway inflammation and improve breathing. Therefore, Kast is widely used to manage allergies and support long term asthma control in children aged 6 to 14 years.
Leukotrienes are natural chemicals in the body that cause swelling, mucus production, and tightening of the airways. However, Montelukast blocks these chemicals. As a result, allergy symptoms improve and breathing becomes easier.
Consequently, children experience fewer allergy attacks and better asthma stability.
This medicine is preventive and not for acute asthma attacks.
Regular use is important for optimal control.
Rare mood or sleep changes should be reported to a healthcare professional.
