Precautions

The efficacy of montelukast for the treatment of acute asthma attacks has not been established. Therefore, montelukast should not be used to treat acute asthma attacks. Patients should be advised to have appropriate rescue medication available. While the dose of concomitant inhaled corticosteroid may be reduced gradually under medical supervision, montelukast should not be abruptly substituted for inhaled or oral corticosteroids. Neuropsychiatric events have been reported in patients taking. Since other factors may have contributed to these events, it is not known if they are related to montelukast. Physicians should discuss these adverse experiences with their patients. Patients should be instructed to notify their physician if these changes occur. In rare cases patients receiving anti-asthma agents, including leukotriene receptor antagonists, have experienced one or more of the following: eosinophilia, vasculitic rash,worsening pulmonary symptoms, cardiac complications, and/or neuropathy sometimes diagnosed as Churg-Strauss syndrome, a systemic eosinophilic vasculitis. These cases have been sometimes associated with the reduction or withdrawal of oral corticosteroid therapy. Although a causal relationship with leukotriene receptor antagonism has not been established, caution and appropriate clinical monitoring are recommended in patients receiving montelukast.
