*Doesn't provide immediate effects, but promotes decreased frequency and severity of
exacerbations and acute attacks

Leukotriene Modifiers ✅MONTELUKAST SODIUM

Suppresses the effects of leukotrienes, thereby reducing inflammation,

-reduce of bowel motility
-cough suppression (codeine)

Complications: Respiratory Depression, Constipation, Orthostatic Hypotension, urinary
retention, Opioid Toxicity Triad (coma, respiratory depression, pinpoint pupils)
