What Is Montelukast 10mg?

Montelukast is a prescription medication known by the brand name Singulair. It belongs to a class of drugs called leukotriene receptor antagonists, which work by blocking leukotrienes — chemicals in the body that cause airway inflammation, swelling, and tightening. Montelukast is used for the long-term prevention of asthma symptoms, relief of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) symptoms, and prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. It is not a rescue medication and should not be used to treat a sudden asthma attack.
