Effective management of asthma and allergic rhinitis often relies on precise medication usage. Montelukast Sodium, a widely prescribed leukotriene receptor antagonist, requires specific attention to its dosage and administration for optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Montelukast Sodium is available in various forms, including 10mg tablets for adults and older children, 5mg chewable tablets for younger children, and 4mg granules for infants and very young children. The typical dosage regimen for asthma and perennial allergic rhinitis is one dose daily in the evening. This timing is often recommended as asthma symptoms can be worse at night and in the early morning.

For exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), the recommended dosage is typically taken at least two hours before exercise. It is important to note that if a patient is already taking Montelukast Sodium daily for asthma or allergies, an additional dose should not be taken specifically for EIB. The medication should not be used to treat an acute asthma attack; a reliever inhaler should always be used for such instances.

When administering Montelukast Sodium granules, they can be given directly on the tongue or mixed with a small amount of cold or room temperature food such as applesauce, carrots, rice, or ice cream, or with infant formula or breast milk. The mixture should be consumed within 15 minutes. It is crucial to follow the specific instructions for use to ensure the medication's integrity and effectiveness.
