Along with the release of histamine, other molecules are released during allergic reactions, among them leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are responsible for part of the inflammatory response of allergy.
A group of allergy drugs, leukotriene receptor blockers, prevent the activation of this inflammatory response by leukotrienes.
Belong to this group:
- Singulair
