I had taken Montelukast for about 40days together with Loratidine or Cetrizine
For a patient who does not respond to early symptomatic treatment, Inhaled
Whether montelukast as adjuvant therapy can significantly and safely treat adults with cough variant asthma (CVA) remains inconclusive
Montelukast is effective in acute and post viral-induced wheezing
In
A viral-induced asthma attack is a frequent complication of respiratory infections in people with chronic asthma
However
Consequently, use of high-dose montelukast as an anti-inflammatory agent has been shown to be effective in acute asthma
Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the drug, called
It is responsible for 60%–70% of viral-induced asthma attacks
Montelukast has proven to be particularly effective in exercise-induced asthma and in asthma associated with allergic rhinitis
Montelukast was developed as a highly selective CysLTR1 antagonist, which is currently used and approved for the treatment of asthma, allergic rhinitis, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and acetylsalicylic acid-sensitive asthmatic patients
Montelukast was developed as a highly selective CysLTR1 antagonist, which is currently used and approved for the treatment of asthma, allergic rhinitis, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, and acetylsalicylic acid-sensitive asthmatic patients
How and when to take it
Cysteinyl-leukotri-enes are found in viral-induced wheezing pathway therefore Leukotriene-receptor antagonist has a role in the management
Common side effects of Singulair include upper respiratory infection, fever, and sore throat
Recent evidence suggests increasing risk of asthma by persistent-wheezing
Follow-up all people admitted to hospital within 2 working days of discharge
We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of montelukast as add-on treatment in patients with Covid-19
