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.

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.
