Answer: B- Singulair is recommended for pediatric patients 3 years or older for the management of asthma.
Accolate and zafirlukast are the same drug but are only recommended for use in patients over seven years of age. Salmeterol is a long acting beta agonist, not a leukotriene inhibitor.
A leukotriene inhibitor is a type of medication that works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory substances produced by the immune system. Leukotrienes play a role in a variety of inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Leukotriene inhibitors are commonly used to manage asthma and are considered a type of asthma controller medication. They can help to reduce airway inflammation, prevent the narrowing of airways, and improve breathing in people with asthma. Leukotriene inhibitors may also be used to treat other conditions that involve inflammation, such as allergic rhinitis.
