Generic Reversair OD 4 contains Montelukast Sodium 4mg.
Description Reversair OD 4 is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the prevention and long-term treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis. It helps control symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion by reducing inflammation in the airways. This medication is particularly beneficial for patients who experience exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and seasonal allergies.
Benefits: Reversair OD 4 effectively relieves asthma symptoms, reduces airway inflammation, and prevents bronchospasms. It also helps alleviate sneezing, nasal congestion, and runny nose caused by allergic rhinitis. The medication helps prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction when taken before physical activity.
Ingredients Each Reversair OD 4 tablet contains 4mg of Montelukast Sodium, a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist that helps block inflammatory pathways in the lungs and nasal passages.
