Montela 10 Special Precautions

Montelukast is not indicated for use in the reversal of bronchospasm in acute asthma attacks. Patients with known Aspirin sensitivity should continue avoidance of Aspirin or other NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) while taking Montelukast. Neuropsychiatric events such as agitation, aggressive behavior or hostility, anxiousness, depression, disorientation, dream abnormalities, hallucinations, insomnia, irritability, restlessness, somnambulism, suicidal thinking and behavior (including suicide) and tremor have been reported in adult, adolescent and pediatric patients taking Montelukast. Systemic eosinophilia, sometimes presenting with clinical features of vasculitis consistent with Churg-Strauss syndrome, has been reported. These events usually, but not always, have been associated with the reduction of oral corticosteroid therapy.
