Hi,

Montelukast belongs to FDA category B and relatively safe to be used in pregnancy. I would suggest you to take the drug only when you have symptoms and avoid using the drug continuously for more than 10 days. Avoid the allergen which could be food or dust or fabric if possible. Mind relaxation techniques and breathing exercises can improve your lung performance.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
