DESCRIPTIONMontelukast belongs to a class of drugs known as leukotriene receptor antagonists, and is used in mild to moderate asthma to decrease the symptoms of asthma and the number of acute asthma attacks. Montelukast is also typically used to treat the symptoms of seasonal allergies. It has been found that leukotrienes, powerful chemical substances produced by the body that promote the inflammatory response caused by allergans, are associated with the development of nasal polyps. Early studies of leukotriene-type drugs, such as Singulair, have shown improved nasal airflow and reduction in nasal polyps.

Researchers in England evaluated the use of montelukast in patients with nasal polyps and asthma who were both aspirin-sensitive and aspirin-tolerant. In this study, patients received a three-month regimen consisting of Singulair in addition to intranasal and inhaled corticosteroid. Results from this study showed a clinical improvement in nasal polyps in 64% of aspirin-tolerant patients and 50% of aspirin-sensitive patients. Asthma improved in both groups of patients. Singulair improvements were not related to age, sex, disease duration, or aspirin sensitivity. Researchers concluded that in some people leukotriene receptor antagonists, such as montelukast, are effective.
