Montelukast, also known as singulair or brondilat, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as linear 1, 3-diarylpropanoids. Common side effects include abdominal pain, cough, and headache.Montelukast was approved for medical use in the United States in 1998.Montelukast is used for a number of conditions including Montelukast is usually taken once a day with or without food.In 2019 and 2020, concerns for neuropsychiatric reactions were added to the label in the United Kingdom and United States where the most frequently suspected were nightmares, depression, insomnia (may affect between 1 in 100 to 1 in 1,000 people taking montelukast); aggression, anxiety and abnormal behaviour or changes in behaviour (may affect between 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 10,000 people taking montelukast).In September 2019, the Pediatric Advisory Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee met to discuss a pediatric-focused safety review of neuropsychiatric events with montelukast.In March 2020, the FDA required a boxed warning for montelukast to strengthen an existing warning about the risk of neuropsychiatric events associated with the drug in the wake of an increase in case reporting of neuropsychiatric events around the time of the initial communications about the concern from FDA in 2008.In the FDA's self-conducted data analysis in comparison to their received case reports which were dependent on people's self-claims, the propensity of developing neuropsychiatric disorders after montelukast use does not outpace that of inhaled corticosteroids; and there were no statistically significant risks of new-onset neuropsychiatric disorders among males, females, patients 12 years and older, patients with a psychiatric history, or after the 2008 FDA communication and prescribing information changes that first publicized the concern.Montelukast has very few drug-drug interactions. Tamoxifen, also known as nolvadex or soltamox, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stilbenes. It is taken by mouth. The cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) are important intermediaries of allergic airway disease. Montelukast is a selective leuko triene receptor antagonist that inhibits the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1.
