Monas OFT Flash Tablet 5 mg contains Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist widely used for the prevention and long-term control of asthma and the relief of allergic rhinitis. The OFT (Oral Flash Tablet) formulation is designed to disintegrate rapidly in the mouth without the need for water, ensuring ease of administration, especially for children and individuals who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

Montelukast works by selectively blocking cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT1) receptors in the airways. Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators released from mast cells and eosinophils that contribute to airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and increased mucus production. By inhibiting these effects, Monas OFT 5 mg helps reduce airway inflammation, prevent bronchoconstriction, and improve overall respiratory function.
