How Montelukast works: Leukotrienes cause constriction and swelling in the airways in the lungs. By preventing leukotriene, Montelukast improves asthma symptoms and helps control asthma. Leukotriene also causes allergy symptoms. Preventing leukotriene improves seasonal allergy symptoms (also known as hay fever or seasonal allergic rhinitis).

Montelukast should not be used with other medicines containing the same active ingredient, Montelukast.
