Question

Justify the role of leukotriene inhibitors in asthma with examples. Add a note on the mechanism of action of leukotriene inhibitors

Answer 1

Leukotriene modifiers work by blocking the action of leukotrienes, one cause of the inflammation and nasal congestion associated with allergies. For those with allergies and asthma, leukotriene modifiers help keep bronchial tubes, airways to your lungs, from constricting.
