Special instructions
The effectiveness of montelukast for oral administration in the treatment of acute attacks of bronchial asthma has not been established.

Patients with a confirmed allergy to acetylsalicylic acid and other NSAIDs should not take these drugs during the treatment with montelukast, since montelukast, while improving respiratory function in patients with allergic bronchial asthma, nevertheless cannot completely prevent bronchoconstriction caused by them.
The dose of inhaled GCS used concomitantly with montelukast can be gradually reduced under the supervision of a doctor, however, abrupt replacement of inhaled or oral GCS with montelukast cannot be performed.
Neuropsychiatric disorders have been described in patients taking montelukast. Considering, that these symptoms could be caused by other factors, it is not known whether they are associated with taking montelukast. The physician needs to discuss these side effects with patients and / or their parents / guardians. Patients and / or their guardians need to be explained that in case of the appearance of such symptoms, it is necessary to inform the attending physician about this.

Although a causal relationship between these adverse reactions and therapy with leukotriene receptor antagonists has not been established, caution should be exercised with a corresponding clinical observation when the dose of systemic corticosteroids is reduced in patients receiving Montelukast.
