What Experts Say

Montelukast works by blocking leukotriene receptors in the airway lining. Leukotrienes are chemical messengers released during allergic and asthmatic reactions that cause airway muscles to tighten and inflammation to build up. Blocking this pathway helps keep airways open and reduces swelling.

Unlike inhaled steroids, this medicine is taken as a tablet and works throughout the body rather than only at the site of inflammation. This makes it useful for patients who experience both asthma and allergic rhinitis together, since one tablet can address both conditions through the same underlying mechanism.

Because leukotrienes are also involved in triggering exercise induced airway narrowing, taking this medicine regularly can reduce breathlessness during physical activity in people prone to this reaction. It is generally used as an additional option rather than a replacement for fast acting rescue inhalers during an acute asthma attack.
