Description
Summary:Bronchial asthma (BA) is a common chronic disease heterogeneous in nature and variable in its course. Heterogeneity in asthma is manifested in relation to the age of the onset, triggers, pattern of inflammation, severity of clinical manifestations and response to therapy.

This review article is devoted to the modern role of Montelukast in asthma treatment.
