What Experts Say

Montelukast blocks leukotriene receptors that drive airway inflammation and narrowing in asthma and allergic rhinitis, reducing swelling in the airway lining over time and easing breathing. It is taken as a tablet rather than an inhaler, which some patients, especially young children, find easier to manage every day without inhaler technique concerns.

It works best as a preventer taken regularly rather than during a sudden asthma attack, since it does not act fast enough to stop an acute episode. A rescue inhaler is still needed for acute symptoms and should always be kept close on hand for emergencies, even once symptoms feel stable.

Dust, pollen, and seasonal smog trigger asthma and allergic rhinitis flare ups frequently in this region, and pulmonologists commonly add this tablet to an inhaler based routine for patients whose symptoms are not fully controlled through inhaled treatment alone.
