1. What Montelukast Zentiva is and what it is used for
The active substance in Montelukast Zentiva is montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks substances called leukotrienes. Leukotrienes cause narrowing and swelling of the airways in the lungs. By blocking leukotrienes, Montelukast Zentiva improves asthma symptoms and helps to control asthma.
Your doctor has prescribed Montelukast Zentiva for the treatment of asthma for you or your child, to prevent asthma symptoms during both day and night.
- Montelukast Zentiva is used for the treatment of patients aged [2–5] [6–14] years who are not adequately controlled with their current medications and require additional therapy.
- Montelukast Zentiva may also be used as an alternative to inhaled corticosteroids in patients aged [2–5] [6–14] years who have not recently taken oral corticosteroids for asthma and who have shown inability to use inhaled corticosteroids.
- Montelukast Zentiva also helps prevent exercise-induced narrowing of the airways in patients 2 years of age and older.
Your doctor will determine how to use Montelukast Zentiva depending on your or your child's symptoms and severity of asthma.
What is asthma?

- Difficulty breathing due to narrowing of the airways. Airway narrowing worsens and improves in response to various triggers;
