Monteleukast helps parents feel better

12 Jul, 09 | by Bob Phillips

Structural pictureWell, it does, doesn’t it? There’s nothing much you can actually do for recurrent/intermittent viral wheezers, but if you stick them on a few granules of monteleukast in their yoghurt, at least it seems like we’re doing something. Or am I behind the times and there’s great evidence of it’s effectiveness?

Well, it’s certainly a question that’s tasking East Anglia, bringing the combined brains of paediatricians and public health doctors as they answer it. For me, I’ll keep it away from folk (as I find that cytotoxics frequently remove the need for that sort of treatment anyway…)
