info

Montelukast is used to help prevent and treat asthma symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. It also helps relieve allergy symptoms, including sneezing, a runny nose, and nasal congestion. Montelukast works by blocking leukotriene substances in the body that cause airway tightening and inflammation. Reducing swelling and preventing airway narrowing helps control asthma symptoms and relieve nasal allergy symptoms. Common side effects of Montelukast include headache, fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhoea. These side effects are typically mild and tend to subside over time. However, consult your doctor if your child experiences persistent or severe symptoms.

About BRIOMONT SUSPENSION

BRIOMONT SUSPENSION is a prescription oral suspension used to prevent and manage asthma in children. It is also prescribed to relieve symptoms of outdoor seasonal allergies and year-round indoor allergies in pediatric patients. This medicine works to keep your child's airways open and reduce the body's allergic response to environmental triggers.

This medicine helps prevent asthma symptoms but does not relieve a sudden asthma attack. Always keep your child's prescribed quick-relief (rescue) inhaler available and follow your child's asthma action plan during emergencies. It can be taken with or without food. Along with taking this medicine, reducing your child's exposure to common allergens—like dust mites, pet dander, and tobacco smoke—can significantly improve their breathing and overall comfort.

While this medicine is generally well tolerated, most children do not experience serious side effects. However, it is important to monitor your child for any unusual changes in mood or behavior, such as increased anxiety, aggression, nightmares, sleep disturbances, depression, or thoughts of self-harm in older children and adolescents. Contact your child's doctor promptly if these symptoms occur before stopping the medicine, unless your child is in immediate danger or severe distress, in which case seek emergency medical care immediately.

This medicine should not be used as the only treatment for an acute severe asthma attack. Children with aspirin-sensitive asthma should also tell their doctor before starting BRIOMONT SUSPENSION, as special precautions may be needed. Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if your child has a history of liver damage or any other chronic health conditions. If the oral suspension contains phenylalanine, parents of children with phenylketonuria (PKU) must consult their doctor first.

Some medicines can interfere with how this pediatric treatment works. For example, certain seizure medications may lower the level of this medicine in the child's body, making it less effective. If this medication is being considered for adolescents or pregnant individuals, please consult your doctor or pharmacist to discuss safety guidelines.

Uses of BRIOMONT SUSPENSION

This medicine is used to help prevent asthma symptoms and manage seasonal and year-round allergic rhinitis in children. The detailed uses of this medicine are as follows:

  • Asthma prevention: It helps prevent daily asthma symptoms and supports long-term control of asthma. It is not intended to treat sudden asthma attacks.
  • Seasonal allergic rhinitis: It helps relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy or watery eyes caused by seasonal allergens like pollen.
  • Perennial (year-round) allergic rhinitis: It helps manage allergy symptoms triggered by indoor allergens such as dust mites, mold, and pet dander throughout the year.
  • Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB): It helps prevent narrowing of the airways triggered by exercise in appropriate patients. Your child's doctor will advise whether this medicine is suitable and when it should be given before physical activity.

Key Benefits

This medicine helps provide long-term control of asthma and allergy symptoms in children when used regularly as prescribed. Its benefits include:

  • Helps reduce airway inflammation, making breathing easier and lowering the risk of asthma flare-ups.
  • Helps prevent asthma symptoms during physical activity, allowing children to play and exercise more comfortably.
  • Relieves seasonal and year-round allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes.
  • Helps improve sleep by reducing nighttime asthma and allergy symptoms, supporting better rest and daytime energy.
  • Supports better day-to-day asthma and allergy control, helping children participate more comfortably in school and other daily activities.

Directions for Use

  • BRIOMONT SUSPENSION can be given to your child with or without food, as advised by your doctor.
  • Follow your doctor's instructions carefully regarding the dosage and timing to ensure your child's safety.
  • Measure the prescribed dose of BRIOMONT SUSPENSION using a proper measuring cup or syringe for accuracy, and give it to your child orally.
  • Shake well before use.

How BRIOMONT SUSPENSION Works

During an allergic reaction or asthma flare-up, the body releases natural chemicals that cause the airways to swell, tighten, and produce excess mucus. This medicine works by blocking these specific inflammatory chemicals. By stopping these chemicals from binding to their targets, the medicine reduces swelling in the lungs and nasal passages, keeping the airways relaxed and open for easier breathing.

  • Encourage good hydration: Ensure your child drinks plenty of water throughout the day to help keep airway mucus thin and easier to clear.
