What is Montelukast (Singulair) commonly used to treat?

  1. Allergic rhinitis and asthma

  2. Chronic urticaria

  3. Seasonal allergies

  4. Eczema

The correct answer is: Allergic rhinitis and asthma

Montelukast (Singulair) is commonly used to treat allergic rhinitis and asthma. It is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that helps to reduce symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath caused by asthma. Additionally, it is effective in managing symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, and itching of the nose. While Montelukast is not typically used to treat chronic urticaria, seasonal allergies, or eczema, it is important to remember its primary indications in the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma.
