Introduction
MONTEVAC DX TABLET is used in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It can also be used to manage inflammation of the airways (such as bronchitis) and can provide relief from the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (nasal congestion, repeated sneezing, nasal itching, or red, watery, and itchy eyes) among asthmatic patients.
