Drug Interactions

Montelukast can be prescribed together with other drugs, traditionally used for the prevention and long-term treatment of bronchial asthma, such as bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids.

When a therapeutic effect is achieved with montelukast therapy, the dose of bronchodilators and corticosteroids can be gradually reduced.

The dose of corticosteroids should be reduced gradually, under the supervision of a physician. In some patients, inhaled corticosteroids may be completely canceled. A sharp replacement of inhaled corticosteroids therapy with montelukast is not recommended.

The recommended therapeutic dose of montelukast did not have a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of the following drugs: theophylline, prednisone, prednisolone, oral contraceptives (ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone 35/1), terfenadine, digoxin and warfarin. AUC decreases in individuals simultaneously receiving phenobarbital (approximately 40%), however, correction of the dosage regimen of montelukast to such patients is not required.

In vitro studies have shown that montelukast is a potential inhibitor of the CYP2C8 isoenzyme, however, clinical trials of the drug-drug interaction, including montelukast and rosiglitazone (a preliminary substrate of a representative of drugs that are primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 isoenzyme), have shown that doses of montelukast8 do not inhibit in vivo. Therefore, montelukast does not significantly affect the metabolism of drugs metabolized by this enzyme (e.g. paclitaxel, rosiglitazone and repaglinide).

Since montelukast is metabolized by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme, caution should be exercised (especially in children) if montelukast is given simultaneously with drugs. inducing CYP3A4 isoenzyme, such as phenytoin, phenobarbital and rifampicin.

Overdose

There are no data on overdose symptoms when taking montelukast in patients with bronchial asthma in a dose exceeding 200 mg / day for 22 weeks and at a dose of 900 mg / day for 1 week.

There are reports of acute overdose of montelukast in children (taking the drug at least 1000 mg / day). Clinical and laboratory data in this case indicate the compliance of the safety profile of montelukast in children with the safety profile in adults and elderly patients.

Symptoms: the most common are thirst, drowsiness, vomiting, mydriasis, hyperkinesis, psychomotor agitation, headache and abdominal pain.

Treatment: symptomatic treatment. There is no data on the possibility of excretion of montelukast by peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis.
