Uses

Pranlukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist for the treatment of allergic rhinitis and asthma symptoms.

Used as an adjunct to the standard therapy of inhaled steroids with inhaled long- and/or short-acting beta-agonists.

Pranlukast is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Allergic Rhinitis (AR), Asthma

How Pranlukast works

Pranlukast selectively antagonizes leukotriene D₄ (LTD₄) at the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor, CysLT₁, in the human airway. Pranlukast inhibits the actions of LTD₄ at the CysLT₁ receptor, preventing airway edema, smooth muscle contraction, and enhanced secretion of thick, viscous mucus.

Toxicity

Side effects include headache, abdominal or stomach pain, cough, dental pain, dizziness, fever, heartburn, skin rash, stuffy nose, weakness or unusual tiredness.
