Montelukast is used to prevent sneezing and runny nose due to allergies.
Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by inhibiting the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT1). Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators that play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of asthma and allergic rhinitis. Montelukast selectively blocks the action of cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4) by binding to the CysLT1 receptor. By doing so, it helps in reducing airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and altered cellular activity associated with the inflammatory process in the airways, thus relieving the signs and symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis.
