Arokast FT Flash Tablet 5 mg contains Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the long-term management of asthma and relief of allergic rhinitis symptoms. The Flash (FT) formulation is designed to dissolve rapidly in the mouth without water, making it especially convenient for children and patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets.

Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes—chemical mediators responsible for airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, excess mucus production, and allergic symptoms. By inhibiting these substances, Arokast FT Flash Tablet helps improve breathing, reduce wheezing, and control allergy-related discomfort effectively.

This medicine is intended for preventive and maintenance therapy and is not suitable for immediate relief of acute asthma attacks.
