Molus Tablet 10mg is widely stocked at pharmacies across Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi, so patients with asthma or allergies can find it close to home.

Montelukast works differently from steroids or antihistamines by blocking leukotrienes, the chemicals that trigger airway swelling. This makes it a useful add on option for patients who need extra control beyond an inhaler.

Doctors in Pakistan often prescribe this tablet alongside an inhaled steroid for moderate to severe asthma. A pulmonologist can help decide the right combination based on symptom severity.
