Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet (10 Tab)

Medicine Information

Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet Overview:

Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet is an oral fixed-dose combination medication used to manage chronic respiratory conditions, including bronchial asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

It combines two synergistic active ingredients—Acebrophylline and Montelukast—to deliver dual bronchodilating, mucolytic, and anti-inflammatory actions. Acebrophylline acts as a mucoregulator and mild bronchodilator to clear thick mucus and open narrowed airways, while Montelukast acts as a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist to reduce inflammation, swelling, and allergic constriction within the respiratory tract.

Together, this dual-action mechanism of Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet helps relieve airway obstruction, reduce chronic inflammation, and prevent recurrent episodes of wheezing and breathlessness.

 

Composition:

Each film-coated bilayered tablet contains- Montelukast Sodium Eq. to Montelukast (In immediate release form): 10 mg, Acebrophylline (As sustained release): 200 mg and Excipients q.s.

Uses & Benefits of Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet:

The primary uses and benefits of Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet include:

• Asthma: Helps in the long-term management and prevention of asthma attacks by reducing airway inflammation, tightness, and wheezing.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Improves airflow and manages chronic symptoms like breathlessness and cough by loosening mucus plugs.
• Allergic Airway Constriction: Protects sensitive airways against common environmental triggers (such as cold air, pollen, dust, and pet dander) that cause sudden bronchospasm.

 

How Does Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet Work:

Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet is composed of two active salts, Acebrophylline and Montelukast that works complementarily through distinct, synergistic pathways to restore normal airflow.

Acebrophylline acts as a dual bronchodilator and mucolytic; this works by breaking down and thinning excessive, sticky mucus in the airways so it can be easily coughed out. It also relaxes airway muscles, improving airflow, widening the passages for easier breathing.

Meanwhile, Montelukast acts as a selective leukotriene receptor antagonist, effectively blocking the chemical messengers (leukotrienes) responsible for airway swelling and mucus overproduction during allergic reactions and asthma triggers.

Together, these combined mechanisms relieve chest tightness, prevent airway obstruction, and make breathing significantly easier.

Q: Can I stop taking Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet if my breathing improves?

A: No, you should not stop taking Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet without consulting your doctor, even if you feel completely better.

Q: Is Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet an emergency inhaler?

A: No, Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet is an oral daily maintenance medication, not a rescue inhaler. It works gradually over time to prevent airway narrowing and inflammation, so it cannot provide the immediate relief required during a sudden, acute attack of breathlessness or asthma flare-up. You should always carry your prescribed fast-acting rescue inhaler for emergency situations.

 

Q: Does Jitomont AP 10/200 Tablet cause drowsiness or affect sleep?
