Internationally montelukast is sold as Singulair (MSD). Available as 4 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg tablets \u2014 strengths chosen by age and indication.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does Montel Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4) are inflammatory lipid mediators released by mast cells, eosinophils, and basophils when activated by allergen, exercise, cold air, or aspirin. They bind CysLT1 receptors on airway smooth muscle, eosinophils, and bronchial epithelium \u2014 driving bronchoconstriction, eosinophil recruitment, airway oedema, and mucus hypersecretion. Montelukast selectively blocks CysLT1, breaking this cascade.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2014 det forst\u00e6rker den normale fysiologiske respons snarere end at udl\u00f8se en kunstigt.<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Persisterende astma<\/strong> \u2014 add-on preventer in patients not controlled by ICS alone (alternative to LABA or LAMA add-on)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Motionstungt astma<\/strong> \u2014 particularly effective;

It does not replace inhaled corticosteroids (Budecort, Beclate, Foracort, Seretide). Continue ICS as prescribed.<\/p>\n<h3>Is montelukast a rescue medication?<\/h3>\n<p>No \u2014 onset is too slow. Use a SABA (Asthalin, Levolin) for acute attacks.<\/p>\n<h3>Can children take montelukast?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes from 6 months of age in age-appropriate strengths (4 mg granules, 4 mg or 5 mg chewable, 10 mg tablet). Counsel parents to monitor mood and behaviour.<\/p>\n<h3>Is montelukast safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Reasonable observational data; use when benefits outweigh risks, particularly in patients whose asthma is well-controlled on it.<\/p>\n<h3>Does montelukast help allergic rhinitis?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 montelukast is licensed for both asthma and allergic rhinitis. Particularly useful when both coexist (United Airways disease).<\/p>\n<h3>Should I stop montelukast if I feel better?<\/h3>\n<p>No \u2014 continue daily for as long as your prescriber advises. Stopping leads to gradual return of symptoms over days-to-weeks.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:4px;font-size:13px;\"><strong>Medicinsk ansvarsfraskrivelse:<\/strong> Denne side er uddannelsesm\u00e6ssig og erstatter ikke professionel medicinsk r\u00e5dgivning.
