Maximum dose of Montelukast.
My Mother was suffering from coughing we went to a pulmonologist x ray was done and was normal. Doctor then conducted a breathing test on Thorasys and said that she suffers from allergic bronchitis. He then prescribed her Formglyn plus twice a day, Doxiflo M twice a day and Montek FX at night. My question is "Is 30 mg of Montelukast a day okay or is it too high a dose of Montelukast"? Please clarify.
