Montelukast-Teva and other medications for asthma. Therapy can be added to the patient’s existing asthma regimen.

Inhaled corticosteroids
Can be used as an adjunctive treatment for patients in whom inhaled corticosteroids, together with short-acting β-agonists, used as needed, do not provide satisfactory clinical control of the disease.
Should not be abruptly substituted for inhaled corticosteroids

Application features:

Patients should be warned that oral Montelukast-Teva should not be used to relieve acute asthma attacks, and that they should always carry the appropriate emergency medication with them. It is recommended to continue treatment with the usual appropriate medication for relieving seizures. In the event of an acute attack, short-acting inhaled β-agonists should be used. Patients need to consult a doctor as soon as possible if they need more than usual inhalations of short-acting β-agonists.

You should not abruptly replace therapy with montelukast for treatment with inhaled or oral corticosteroids. There is no evidence that oral corticosteroid intake can be reduced while montelukast is used.

In rare cases, patients receiving anti-asthma drugs, including montelukast, may experience systemic eosinophilia, sometimes together with clinical manifestations of vasculitis, the so-called Churg-Strauss syndrome (granulomatous allergic angiitis), which is treated with systemic corticosteroids. Such cases are usually (but not always) associated with a decrease or cancellation of GCS therapy.

The likelihood that leukotriene receptor antagonists may be associated with the emergence of Churg-Strauss syndrome cannot be refuted or confirmed, therefore doctors should be careful about the occurrence of eosinophilia in patients, Vasculitis rashes, worsening pulmonary symptoms, heart complications and / or neuropathy … Patients who develop the aforementioned symptoms should be re-evaluated and their treatment regimen should be re-evaluated.
