Exercise-induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB) in patients 15 years of age and older: For prevention of EIB, a single dose of Montelukast tablets should be taken at least 2 hours before exercise. An additional dose of Montelukast should not be taken within 24 hours of a previous dose. Patients already taking one tablet daily for another indication (including chronic asthma) should not take an additional dose to prevent EIB.
