A member asked:
Is ther any rol of montilukast in copd other than asthma/?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Probably not: I have never used this for copd, and it is not officially indicated for this condition. I have used it quite successfully for asthma and allergies, though.

NO: Singulair ( montelukast ) in indicated for asthma prophylaxis and chronic treatment, for seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, for prevention of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. There is no indication to use in COPD - different mechanism of the disease. If you have allergic rhinitis which worsen your COPD symptoms - probably it could be beneficial.
