Provair 4mg 10pcs

Provair 4 is indication:

A prescription drug called Provair 4 is used to prevent asthma attacks and to relieve allergy symptoms including runny nose and sneezing. Breathing becomes easier as a result of decreased airway irritation. Provair 4 can be taken with or without food, however, the best results come from taking it simultaneously. If you have asthma brought on by exercise, it is suggested that you take it two hours before activity. It should be regarded as medical advice.

Pharmacology

The cysteinyl leukotriene receptor is inhibited by the selective and orally active leukotriene receptor antagonist known as Montelukast (CysLT1). The arachidonic acid metabolism results in the production of cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) from a variety of cells, including mast cells and eosinophils. The pathophysiology of asthma and allergic rhinitis, including airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and altered cellular activity associated with the inflammatory process, have been linked to cysteinyl leukotrienes and leukotriene receptor occupation. These factors all contribute to the signs and symptoms of asthma.
