What are the Common Types of Leukotriene Modifiers?
1. Montelukast: The most commonly prescribed leukotriene modifier for children. It is available in chewable tablets and granule forms, making it easier for administration in pediatric patients. 2. Zafirlukast: Less commonly used, mainly due to the requirement for twice-daily dosing and food restrictions. 3. Zileuton: Not commonly used in children due to concerns about liver toxicity and the need for frequent liver function monitoring.
