A member asked:
Does montelukast cause addiction? can it cause asthma? i don't have asthma but have been experiencing post nasal drip. is this a ok medic. for that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, No, Maybe: Montelukast does not cause addiction. Nor does it cause asthma; it is often used to treat asthma but can also be used to treat allergies especially if other medicine such as antihistamines and prescription nasal sprays fail to offer significant relief.
