About Montelukast
What is Montelukast and how does it work?
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to manage asthma symptoms. It is also prescribed for hay fever relief.
Leukotrine receptors are found in our airways and play a key role in asthma. Leukotrienes are inflammatory molecules that bind to these receptors to cause airway swelling, tightening of the muscles in the airways, and increased mucus production.
Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes, reducing inflammation, and helping to manage asthma symptoms.
