Montelukast is a medication that helps manage asthma and allergies by blocking substances in the body that can trigger these conditions. It contains the active ingredient montelukast, which works by reducing inflammation in the airways, making it easier for you to breathe. This medication is suitable for adults and children over two years old who have asthma or allergic rhinitis.

It is quick and efficient and cost is reasonable. For repeat prescriptions of a pretty low level drug it would be better still to allow more than one months worth of pills at a time.

Very fast and reliable service - I couldn't be happier. I needed a refill for my prescription but couldn't make it to my GP in time due to travel. The medication arrived 3-4 days after I requested a prescription, and it was processed over the weekend.Lovely service, and I'm sure I'll be back!
