BACKGROUND Montelukast, a leucotriene receptor antagonist, binds the cysteinyl leucotriene type 1 receptor. Montelukast is commonly prescribed to asthma patients as add-on therapy to inhaled corticosteroids. Several clinical trials emphasized that montelukast can be considered a safe drug. However, recent evidence reconsidered the benefit/risk ratio of the use of montelukast for both paediatric...
Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, is the most prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used as an add-on therapy for asthma. Besides its effect on blocking action, montelukast has been proposed to have secondary properties. This study aimed investigate modulatory of expression major genes involved in airway inflammation (TNF, IL6) and remodeling (MMP9, TGFB1) response lipopo...
UNLABELLED Leukotriene modifiers (receptor antagonist and biosynthesis inhibitor) represent the first mediator specific therapeutic option for asthma. Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist is the only such agent approved for use in pediatric patients. Montelukast modifies action of leukotrienes, which are the most potent bronchoconstrictors, by blocking Cysteinyl leukotriene receptors....
BACKGROUND Montelukast sodium, a potent, oral, specific leukotriene-receptor antagonist, has demonstrated clinical efficacy in the treatment of chronic asthma. Loratadine, a selective histamine type 1 (H(1))-receptor antagonist, has demonstrated antiallergic properties. Leukotriene-receptor antagonists given concomitantly with H(1)-receptor antagonists have been shown to have additive effects i...
BACKGROUND Chronic cough is the only symptom of cough variant asthma (CVA) and atopic cough (AC). Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonists have been shown to be effective in CVA, but there are no reports on their effectiveness in AC. To evaluate the antitussive effect of montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, in CVA and AC. METHODS Seventy-five patients with chronic cough received ...
Many patients with acute asthma do not respond adequately to currently accepted therapy, including oxygen, beta-agonists, and corticosteroids. Leukotriene receptor antagonists such as montelukast have demonstrated efficacy in chronic asthma, but their efficacy in acute asthma is unknown. In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group pilot study, adults with moderate to severe acute asthma re...
BACKGROUND Montelukast is a potent leukotriene-receptor antagonist administered once daily that provides clinical benefit in the treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis in children and adults. Because of its wide use as a pediatric controller, there is a need for a further review of the safety and tolerability of montelukast in children. OBJECTIVE To summarize safety and tolerability data f...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to investigate possible interactions between grapefruit juice and montelukast for up to 4 hours. STUDY DESIGN A prospective, crossover study with 23 healthy volunteers was performed in two sessions. METHODS In the first session, volunteers were treated with oral montelukast 10 mg once daily with 250 ml water. After a 10-day washout period, the...
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that is effective in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma. We report a rare case of a 31-year-old woman with a history of allergic rhinitis and moderate persistent asthma, who experienced severe bruising on her lower extremities after starting montelukast treatment. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of unusual bruising during...
BACKGROUND The efficacy of a new pharmacologic agent for asthma, in this instance the leukotriene receptor antagonist montelukast, is determined in controlled trials in research subjects. The utility of a new drug is determined by multiple uncontrollable factors in individual patients. OBJECTIVE To assess the utility of montelukast in the management of persistent asthma. DESIGN Observationa...
