Both are tablets and if he is using it for asthma, then inhalers are better than both tablets. Deriphyllin is used for making your airways bigger. Deriphyllin M contains additional medicine to control allergy. But you need to confirm if he really have allergy. Then plain montelukast 10 mg tablet is enough and no need of Deriphyllin
