Why Is Montelukast Used for Allergies?
More than 50 million Americans have allergic diseases. One of the most common forms of allergies is an allergic reaction to something in the air. Health experts estimate that 35 million Americans have upper respiratory tract symptoms that are allergic reactions to airborne allergens (substances that can cause an allergic reaction). Although allergies can affect many different parts of the body, montelukast is approved only to treat nasal allergies.
