Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics.

Cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4) are potent inflammatory eicosanoids secreted by a variety of cells, including mast cells and eosinophils. These important pro-asthmatic mediators bind to cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CysLT) present in the human respiratory tract and cause reactions such as bronchospasm, sputum production, vascular permeability and increased eosinophil count.

Treatment with montelukast suppresses bronchospasm both in the early and late stages, reducing the response to antigens. Montelukast, compared with placebo, reduces the number of peripheral blood eosinophils in adults and children. In a separate study, taking montelukast significantly reduced the number of eosinophils in the airways (as measured by sputum). In adult patients and children aged 2 to 14 years, montelukast, compared with placebo, reduces the number of peripheral blood eosinophils and improves the clinical control of asthma.

Indications

4 mg Montelukast Chewable Tablets are recommended for children 2 to 5 years of age.

Montelukast chewable tablets 5 mg are recommended for children from 6 to 14 years old:
