Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to manage respiratory and allergic conditions.
  • Asthma: reduces the frequency of asthma attacks and improves lung function.
  • Exercise‑induced bronchoconstriction: prevents bronchospasm triggered by physical activity.
  • Allergic rhinitis: alleviates nasal congestion, sneezing and itching associated with seasonal allergies.

How It Works

  • Montelukast selectively blocks the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1, preventing leukotriene D4 from binding. This inhibition reduces leukotriene‑mediated bronchoconstriction, airway edema, and inflammatory cell recruitment, thereby improving airway patency and decreasing allergic inflammation.

Side Effects

Montelukast may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Headache
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Angioedema or severe allergic reactions
  • Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis
  • Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg‑Strauss syndrome)
  • Hepatic injury
  • Mood changes, including suicidal thoughts

Precautions & Warnings

  • When prescribing Montelukast, consider the following precautions.
  • Assess asthma control before initiating: ensure the patient’s asthma is stable.
  • Monitor for neuropsychiatric events: watch for mood changes or suicidal thoughts.
  • Use caution in hepatic impairment: adjust therapy if liver function is compromised.
  • Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to montelukast or excipients.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Montelukast can interact with several medicines; review patient medication lists.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Rifampin: may reduce plasma concentrations of montelukast.
  • Phenobarbital: may decrease montelukast effectiveness.
  • Ketoconazole: may increase montelukast levels, raising risk of adverse effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Warfarin: possible increase in INR; monitor coagulation parameters.
  • Beta‑agonists: additive bronchodilation effect; observe clinical response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Montelukast Teva is prescribed for the long‑term management of asthma, to prevent exercise‑induced bronchoconstriction, and to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as nasal congestion, sneezing and itching.

Montelukast blocks the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor CysLT1, preventing leukotriene D4 from causing bronchoconstriction and airway inflammation. This results in improved breathing and reduced allergic symptoms.

The appropriate dose of Montelukast Teva is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, condition severity, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.

Safety data for Montelukast in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers should weigh potential benefits against possible risks and discuss any concerns with the patient before prescribing.

To request Montelukast Teva, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Montelukast belongs to the leukotriene receptor antagonist class, offering an oral alternative to inhaled corticosteroids or long‑acting beta‑agonists. It is especially useful for patients with exercise‑induced symptoms or allergic rhinitis, but it does not replace rescue bronchodilators for acute attacks.

Montelukast Teva tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children.

Montelukast Teva is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food, as directed by the prescriber. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed.

Serious adverse events, though rare, include angioedema, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, hepatic injury, and neuropsychiatric effects like mood changes or suicidal thoughts. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if these occur.

Montelukast Teva is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to montelukast sodium or any of the tablet’s excipients. It should be used with caution in patients with liver impairment and is not intended for acute asthma attacks.
