Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Montelukast (Singulair) is used for the prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma, including preventing daytime and nighttime symptoms, treating aspirin-sensitive asthma, and preventing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. It is not typically used for acute bronchospasm, does not have immunosuppression as a common serious adverse effect, and can be an appropriate addition to asthma treatment plans.
