The secretion of Leukotriene causes swelling in lungs and constriction of airways with tightening of airway muscles. This is because of inflammation. Generic Singulair (Montelukast) inhibits the Leukotriene receptors, which further decreases the secretion of Leukotriene, in order to bring down the inflammation, swelling and constriction of airways. By ceasing the secretion of Leukotriene, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma reduce.
