Bastia
Bastia is a brand of Montelukast, which is a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist. It works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and nasal congestion, thereby helping to manage asthma and allergy symptoms.
Dosage by Body Weight
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Typically administered once daily in the evening for asthma control. For allergic rhinitis, it can be taken in the morning or evening. Chewable tablets should be chewed thoroughly before swallowing.
