What Experts Say

Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, chemicals the body releases during an allergic or asthmatic response that cause the airways to narrow and become inflamed. By blocking these signals, it helps keep the airways more open over time.

It is not a rescue medicine and will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. It works best when taken every day, even when the child feels well, since it prevents inflammation rather than reversing an active flare up.

Doctors sometimes monitor children on montelukast for mood or behavior changes, since rare cases of sleep disturbance, irritability, or vivid dreams have been reported. Parents are usually advised to report any unusual changes to the doctor promptly.
