Montiget Dosage/Direction for Use

Recommended Dose: For mild persistent asthmatic, it should be taken once daily. For moderate to severe asthma, it should be taken once daily concomitantly with inhaled corticosteroids to provide additional benefit. The dose should be taken in the evening.
For allergic rhinitis, it should be taken once daily. In patients who are not adequately controlled on the standard therapy according to specialized physicians' consideration, concomitant administration of MONTIGET may result in further improvement of symptoms. The time of administration may be individualized to suit patient needs.
Patients with both asthma and allergic rhinitis should take only one tablet daily in the evening.
Adults and children 15 years and older with Asthma and/or Allergic Rhinitis: The dosage for adults 15 years of age and older is one 10-mg tablet once daily.
Pediatric Patients 6 to 14 years of age with Asthma and/or Allergic Rhinitis: The dosage for pediatric patients 6 to 14 years of age is one 5-mg chewable tablet daily.
No dosage adjustment is necessary for pediatric patients, for the elderly, for patients with renal insufficiency, or mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment, or for patients of either gender.
Mode of Administration: It may be administered orally without regard to food or meals. Patients should be advised to continue taking this drug while their asthma is controlled, as well as during periods of worsening asthma.
Therapy with MONTIGET in Relation to Other Treatments for Asthma: MONTIGET can be added to a patient's existing treatment regimen.
Reduction in Concomitant Therapy: Bronchodilator Treatments: MONTIGET can be added to the treatment regimen of patients who are not adequately controlled on bronchodilator alone. When a clinical response is evident (usually after the first dose), the patient's bronchodilator therapy can be reduced as tolerated.
Inhaled Corticosteroids: Treatment with MONTIGET provides additional clinical benefit to patients treated with inhaled corticosteroids. A reduction in the corticosteroid dose can be made as tolerated. The dose should be reduced gradually with medical supervision. In some patients, the dose of inhaled corticosteroids can be tapered off completely. MONTIGET should not be abruptly substituted for inhaled corticosteroids.
