What is Beasy 10mg?
Beasy 10mg is a prescription tablet containing Montelukast Sodium 10mg, manufactured by Bosch Pharmaceuticals. It is used for the long-term prevention of asthma and the relief of allergic rhinitis (دمہ اور الرجی) in adults and adolescents aged 15 years and above. As the standard adult strength in the Beasy range, it provides the full therapeutic dose of Montelukast for controlling chronic airway inflammation and managing both respiratory and nasal allergy symptoms. Beasy 10mg is a daily maintenance medicine and must not be used to treat sudden or acute asthma attacks.
What is Beasy 10mg Used For?
Asthma Prevention and Maintenance: Controls chronic asthma in adults and adolescents, reducing the frequency and severity of wheezing, chest tightness, and breathlessness. Seasonal and Perennial Allergic Rhinitis: Relieves sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itching caused by hay fever and year-round allergies. Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction: Prevents airway narrowing that causes breathing difficulty during or after physical activity.
How Does Beasy 10mg Work?
Leukotrienes are inflammatory chemicals released in the airways and nasal passages in response to allergens. They cause airway swelling, excess mucus production, and muscle tightening that leads to asthma and allergy symptoms. Montelukast Sodium blocks the leukotriene receptors in airway and nasal tissue, preventing these chemicals from triggering inflammation. This reduces both respiratory and nasal symptoms with consistent once-daily dosing.
