What is Monkasta

Monkasta is a Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist, which Blocks the Action of Substances called Leukotrienes.

  • Monkasta also Helps Prevent Exercise-Induced Narrowing of the Airways in Patients Aged 2 Years and Older.

The Doctor will Determine how to Give Monkasta to the Child, Depending on the Child's Symptoms and the Severity of their Asthma.

What is Asthma?

Asthma is a Chronic Disease.

In Asthma, there are:

  • Difficulty Breathing Due to Narrowing of the Airways. This Narrowing can Worsen and Improve in Response to Various Factors.
  • Sensitivity of the Airways, which React to Many Factors, such as Cigarette Smoke, Pollen, Cold Air, or Exercise.
