What is the daily recommended dose of Montelukast for patients aged 15 years and older?

  1. 4 mg

  2. 5 mg

  3. 10 mg

  4. 12 mg

The correct answer is: 10 mg

The daily recommended dose of Montelukast for patients aged 15 years and older is 10 mg. This medication is typically prescribed for the treatment of asthma and allergies, and the recommended dose may vary depending on the individual's condition and response to the medication. Option A (4 mg) may be too low of a dose to effectively manage symptoms, while option B (5 mg) may not be enough for some patients. Option D (12 mg) is a higher dose and may increase the risk of side effects. Therefore, option C (10 mg) is the most appropriate and commonly prescribed daily dose for patients 15 years and older. It is always important to follow the instructions and recommendations of your healthcare provider when taking any medication.
