HOW BMONT TABLET WORKS
BMONT TABLET is a combination of Bambuterol and Montelukast. Bambuterol is a bronchodilator which works by relaxing the muscles in the airways and widening the airways. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist which works by blocking the action of leukotriene, a chemical messenger. This reduces inflammation in the airways and nose to prevent asthma and relieve symptoms of allergies.
