Scientific Evidence:

Montelukast, the active ingredient in Singulair, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the action of leukotrienes in the body. Leukotrienes are chemicals in the body that can cause asthma symptoms by constricting airways, increasing mucus production, and causing inflammation. By blocking leukotrienes, Montelukast helps to improve asthma symptoms and control asthma attacks.

Clinical trials have shown that Montelukast is effective in improving lung function, reducing asthma symptoms, and decreasing the frequency of asthma attacks. A study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology demonstrated that Montelukast provided significant improvements in lung function and asthma control compared to a placebo.

• Warnings: Singulair should not be used for the treatment of acute asthma attacks.
