What is Montelukast (Generic Singulair) and what are its uses?

Montelukast (Generic Singulair) helps to reduce asthma symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness and control your asthma.

Montelukast (Generic Singulair) is also helpful in improving seasonal allergies, like hay fever. 

Montelukast (Generic Singulair) is used for people whose asthma is not fully controlled with regular inhaled corticosteroids or short-acting beta agonist relievers such as salbutamol. Montelukast (Generic Singulair) is also useful to prevent asthma caused by exercise.

How does Montelukast (Generic Singulair) treat?

Montelukast (Generic Singulair) contains the active ingredient Montelukast, which is a type of medicine known as a leukotriene receptor antagonist. Montelukast (Generic Singulair) works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are chemicals released by the body as part of the allergic and inflammatory response.

Leukotrienes have effects in many areas of the body. In the lungs, they cause inflammation and increased mucous production in the airways. They also cause the muscles lining the airways to contract, which narrows the airways. All of this makes it difficult for air to get in and out of the lungs.

Montelukast (Generic Singulair) blocks leukotriene receptors in the lungs and, as a result, blocks the actions of leukotrienes. This prevents the excess mucous production, inflammation and narrowing of the airways that occurs in asthma, and therefore prevents asthma attacks. Montelukast (Generic Singulair) should be taken regularly to prevent attacks. You should continue to take Montelukast (Generic Singulair) even when your symptoms are under control.
