How To Withdraw From Montelukast?
I have been taking Montelukast for a few yrs now. I want to know if it is safe to stop cold turkey because I have so many side effects since I haven taken this med. Now I have a metal taste in my month for 5 months now. All my food taste the same. If I stop my meds will my taste return?

Hello,
Montelukast usually prescribed in allergic condition like asthma when severe form. If regular maintenance therapy needed in asthma, then inhaler containing formoterol and low does steroid can be prescribed. Mention your clinical history for giving more comment. Stop this medication with doctor advice, and your taste might return. Consult physician or pulmonologoist for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
