Question: what are the leukotriene inhibitors?
Answer: Leukotriene inhibitors are either leukotriene receptor antagonists or leukotriene synthesis inhibitors, which act by blocking 5-lipoxygenase activity. The leukotriene receptor antagonists include zafirlukast (Accolate) and montelukast (Singulair); zileuton (Zyflo) is the only leukotriene synthesis inhibitor (Table 1).
