How it works

Montek AB Tablet SR is a combination of two medicines: Acebrophylline and montelukast. Acebrophylline is a mucolytic that thins and loosens mucus (phlegm) making it easier to cough out. Montelukast is a leukotriene antagonist that 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.
