Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Montelukast 3 mg Capsules are a compounded medication specifically designed to treat a range of respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis. This unique formulation is intended for nasal irrigation or nebulization, and should not be ingested orally.

The active ingredient, Montelukast, is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. It functions by inhibiting the action of leukotrienes, chemicals that can trigger inflammation in the airways. By blocking these chemicals, Montelukast effectively reduces inflammation, thereby improving respiratory function.

These capsules are designed to be used with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse for nasal irrigation. To use, simply empty the contents of one (1) Montelukast 3 mg Capsule into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse. Proceed to irrigate each nostril with half the bottle twice daily. This method allows for targeted administration of the medication, ensuring optimal effectiveness.

If you have any queries regarding this formulation or its usage, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Montelukast 3 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis. The active ingredient, Montelukast, functions by inhibiting the action of leukotrienes, chemicals that trigger inflammation in the airways. This action helps alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions, including wheezing, coughing, and difficulty in breathing.

These capsules are unique in their administration method. Unlike traditional oral consumption, the contents of these capsules are intended to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution. This mixture is then used for nasal irrigation or nebulization as directed. This targeted administration method allows for direct delivery of the medication to the affected areas, potentially enhancing its effectiveness.

While Montelukast is generally well-tolerated, it may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, and diarrhea. It is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before starting this medication to ensure it is suitable for your specific condition. Adherence to the prescribed usage instructions is also vital, as incorrect use can lead to serious side effects.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
