Bambuterol (10 Mg) + Montelukast (10 Mg)

Telekast-Plus Tablet is primarily used to manage asthma and other related respiratory conditions. This medication is a combination medicine, belonging to the class of bronchodilators and leukotriene receptor antagonists.

In addition to managing asthma, this medicine can prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (the narrowing of airways during physical activity), relieve symptoms of bronchospasm (like wheezing and shortness of breath), and help manage reversible obstructive airway disease.

This medicine should be taken orally as directed by your doctor. Before starting this medicine, it's crucial to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. Any side effects experienced while on this medication should be reported to your doctor immediately. To maintain optimal control over your respiratory conditions, it is important to continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Telekast-Plus Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Telekast-Plus Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Bambuterol (10 mg): As a long-acting bronchodilator, bambuterol relaxes the smooth muscles lining your airways. This process widens your airways, making it easier for you to breathe.
Montelukast (10 mg): Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. This means it blocks the action of leukotrienes – inflammatory chemicals your body releases that cause your airways to tighten and swell. By blocking leukotriene receptors, montelukast reduces airway inflammation and constriction.
