Is Myteka Sachet Safe For Babies?
Is myteka sachet safe for babies as my 8 months old baby had bad cough for about a month but now he is fine but his doctor recommends this medicine to prevent possible attacks in future. Also, if we dont find myteka in market, is monteka or singular fine for him?

Hi.... the drug what your quoting is monteleukast. It can be safely given at 4 milligrams per day as a single dose in babies above 6 months of age. You can use any brand, but make sure the generic name printed on the sheet is montelukast 4 mg.
