Quick Tips
Montair 4mg Chewable Tablet helps prevent asthma attacks. Never give it to stop an attack that has already started. Keep all other rescue medicines handy for your child in case of any respiratory distress. If your child is taking inhaled corticosteroids, taper down the dose gradually only after the advice of the doctor. Never increase or decrease the dose of Montair 4mg Chewable Tablet on your own as it can harm your child. Never combine Montair 4mg Chewable Tablet with other cold and flu medicines as that may cause some side effects. If you are giving Montair 4mg Chewable Tablet to your child for asthma or allergy, you need not give another dose to prevent exercise-induced breathing problems. In case of any confusion, consult your child’s doctor as soon as possible. Make sure that you always have enough medicine. Never give medicines meant for adults to children as they can harm. Abstain your child from coming in contact with allergens. Encourage your child to wear a face mask and avoid dusty places. Give plenty of fluids to your child as that helps in thinning and loosening the mucus in the lungs.
