Montelukast and Corona

Montelukast has an effect on the angiotensin converting receptors, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Since the coronavirus enters cells using angiotensin receptors, and thus causes severe inflammatory reactions that may lead to serious complications, it is believed that montelukast may have an anti-inflammatory effect and thus prevent complications.

However, the effect of montelukast for this purpose is limited, and it must be given to the patient in high doses to reduce the risk of developing complications, or to prevent complications from developing in healthy people who are at risk of complications from the Corona virus.
