Montelukast Sodium

About Montelukast Sodium

Montelukast Sodium is the sodium salt form of montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) used to treat and manage asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.

In powder form, it is used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the production of oral tablets, chewable tablets, and granules. Montelukast works by blocking leukotriene D4 receptors in the lungs and airways, preventing inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production associated with asthma and allergies.

It is commonly prescribed as a once-daily oral medication and is often used as an adjunct to inhaled corticosteroids in asthma therapy.
