Zyrtec Drug Uses

Zyrtec is an antihistamine. Antihistamines prevent sneezing, runny nose, itching and watering of the eyes, and other allergic symptoms. Zyrtec is used to treat allergies, hives (urticaria), and other allergic inflammatory conditions.

How Taken

Zyrtec comes as a tablet to take it orally. It usually is taken once a day. It may be taken regularly or when allergy symptoms flare up. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Zyrtec exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Singulair® (Montelukast), launched in the UK in February 1998, is a new once daily tablet treatment for asthma. There is a chewable tablet for children aged 6 to 15 years.
Together with zafirlukast, it is new kind of treatment for asthma, and works by blocking the effect of substances called leukotrienes, which are important in asthma.
Montelukast is an add-on treatment which improves the health of people with asthma who are already using inhaled steroid 'preventer' treatments but are not getting enough help from those and the other usual treatments.
How does montelukast work?
Montelukast is one of a group of new drugs which work by blocking the effect of an important group of substances released in the lungs during the process which leads to asthma. These substances are called leukotrienes. Just as antihistamines stop a substance called histamine from working, so montelukast stops leukotrienes from working.
Leukotrienes are important in asthma because their release from cells in the lungs causes narrowing of the air passages, for example by making the muscles around the air tubes contract. So one benefit of montelukast is that it acts against this muscle contraction, and so against narrowing of the air passages.
But leukotrienes act in quite a number of ways to help produce asthma. We now know that in asthma the air tubes are not just narrowed by contracting muscle fibres, but that the lining membrane of the air tubes is inflamed, looking red in colour. The microscope shows that the inflamed lining membrane is also full of cells we normally think of as white blood cells, including cells called eosinophils. Over the longer run these cells cause damage in the lungs, which is why older people with asthma generally don't get such good results from treatment as younger people. Leukotrienes play an important part in bringing about this inflammation, and montelukast should help alsthma in the longer term by helping to minimise inflammation and the damage it causes.
How well does it work in practice?
Careful trials on large numbers of patients showed that, in some groups of people with asthma, montelukast reduced night-time asthma attacks as well as attacks and poor control during the daytime. Regular use also reduced the number of times people needed to use steroid tablets because the asthma went out of control.
Some people claim that montelukast may be specially useful for some kinds of asthma, such as asthma brought on by exercise or by aspirin.
Time will tell how much montelukast will contribute to the life of people who have asthma. It seems that we are not looking at a dramatic cure, but at a medicine which will make a very positive difference for many people.
