Abstract

BACKGROUND: Montelukast(MTK) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist widely used clinically for treating asthma and rhinitis. However, many adverse events (AEs) have been reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate MTK's adverse drug reactions (ADRs) using real data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
