Provair Oral Granules 4 mg/3.5 gm is a pediatric formulation containing Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist designed to manage asthma and allergic conditions in children. This granule form allows for easy administration to young children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets. By blocking leukotrienes—chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, airway constriction, and mucus production—Provair helps prevent asthma attacks, reduce airway inflammation, and relieve allergy-related symptoms.

The granules are sugar-free and palatable, making them suitable for children. They can be given directly on the tongue or mixed with soft foods such as applesauce, ensuring ease of dosing while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. Provair Oral Granules provide preventive control for chronic asthma and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, supporting long-term respiratory health in pediatric patients.

Composition

Each sachet contains:

• Montelukast Sodium – 4 mg

Mechanism of Action

Montelukast is a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist. Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators that contribute to:

• Narrowing of the airways (bronchoconstriction)

• Swelling and inflammation of the respiratory tract

• Excess mucus secretion

By blocking leukotriene receptors, Montelukast prevents these reactions, helping maintain open airways, reducing inflammation, and improving airflow. Unlike corticosteroids, Montelukast works systemically without directly suppressing the immune system, making it safe for long-term use in children.

Indications

Provair Oral Granules 4 mg are indicated for:

• Prevention and long-term management of asthma in children aged 2–5 years

• Prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

• Relief from symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes

• Reducing the frequency and severity of asthma attacks

It is not intended for the relief of sudden asthma attacks. A rescue inhaler should be used for acute symptoms.
