Montelukast Sodium

Montelukast helps to reduce inflammation and may be used to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children at least 2 years old.

Montelukast is also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (a narrowing of the air passages in the lungs due to exercise that is also known as exercise-induced asthma) in adults and children who are at least 6 years old.

For adults and children at least 2 years old with symptoms of seasonal or year-round (perennial) allergies, montelukast may be considered when other treatments have not worked.

If you already take montelukast regularly to prevent asthma or allergy symptoms, do not take an extra dose to treat exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

Montelukast is not a fast-acting rescue medicine for asthma attacks and needs to be taken daily to work properly.

Montelukast was FDA approved in 1998.
