What Experts Say

Pulmonologists often add montelukast to an asthma treatment plan when inhaled medicines alone do not fully control symptoms. It works through a different pathway than inhalers, blocking chemicals called leukotrienes that cause airway swelling and tightening in response to triggers.

Doctors also value montelukast for patients who have both asthma and allergic rhinitis, since a single tablet can ease nasal symptoms alongside breathing difficulty. This dual benefit is especially useful during the dusty and pollen heavy months seen across much of the country each year.

Physicians remind patients that montelukast works best as a preventer taken regularly, not as a rescue treatment during a sudden asthma attack. Any mood or behavior changes noticed after starting the tablet should be reported to a doctor without delay, since early review matters.
