What does it do?

Franlukast hydrate belongs to the class of leukotriene receptor antagonists. This ingredient is used to alleviate symptoms by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which cause allergic reactions and bronchoconstriction. It is primarily used in the treatment of asthma and other allergic respiratory conditions.

Franlukast hydrate binds to leukotriene receptors in the body, preventing leukotrienes from causing contraction of the bronchial muscles. This results in the dilation of the bronchi and a reduction in inflammation and swelling, leading to easier breathing. It also suppresses allergic reactions, alleviating symptoms.
