Uses

Montelukast is used to prevent asthma, alleviate sneezing and runny nose caused by allergies, address nasal allergy symptoms, and manage exercise-induced asthma.

How it Works

How Montelukast works Montelukast functions by inhibiting the action of leukotriene, a chemical messenger. This action reduces inflammation in the airways, helping to prevent asthma and alleviate allergy symptoms.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Montelukast include headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and upper respiratory tract infection.

Expert Advice

  • You have been prescribed Montelukast for asthma prevention and the treatment of allergy symptoms, such as sneezing and runny nose.
  • It is a relatively safe medication with very few side effects.
  • Take Montelukast 2 hours before exercising if you have exercise-induced asthma.
  • It does not work immediately and should not be used to relieve sudden breathing problems.
  • Use your rescue inhaler to manage sudden difficulty in breathing.
  • Do not discontinue use without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better.
  • For better control of asthma or allergy symptoms, take Montelukast in the evening.

Montelukast should be taken as prescribed by your doctor, preferably in the evening for asthma. For allergic rhinitis, it can be taken at any time of day, but consistently at the same time. If used to prevent exercise-induced breathing difficulties, take it 2 hours before exercising.
Drowsiness is an uncommon side effect of Montelukast, which may also cause dizziness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you understand how the medication affects you. Consult your doctor if you experience these side effects.
Yes, in rare instances, Montelukast may lead to nightmares, insomnia, and sleepwalking. Contact your doctor if these symptoms persist.
Yes, Montelukast can cause mood changes, though this is rare. Symptoms may include anxiety, agitation, irritability, and in severe cases, depression or suicidal thoughts. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.
Montelukast can be given directly in the mouth or mixed with 1 teaspoon of cold or room temperature baby formula or breast milk. It can also be combined with mashed carrots, applesauce, rice, or ice cream. Ensure the mixture is consumed within 15 minutes of preparation.
Montelukast is typically taken in the evening for asthma and allergic rhinitis, although the precise reason is unclear. Some studies indicate that its effectiveness is similar regardless of whether it is taken in the morning or evening. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
Alcohol consumption should be limited while taking Montelukast, as it may increase the risk of dizziness and drowsiness. Additionally, liver-related side effects may occur more frequently with alcohol use.
