Abstract

We sought to analyze the adverse reactions of montelukast when prescribed for the treatment of pediatric asthma. Integrative literature review using the databases: U.S. National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Virtual Health Library (BVS), SCOPUS and Business Source Complete (EBSCO), using the descriptors: "asthma", "pediatric", "montelukast" and "adverse effects", joined by the Boolean “ AND''. Articles were included in their entirety, published in the last 5 years, written in Portuguese, English or Spanish, researched in humans and related to our objective. Those that met our exclusion criteria were excluded. Fifty-three articles were identified, of which 11 comprised the final sample of this review. Exposure to montelukast was associated with a 2-fold greater chance of neuropsychiatric reactions in one of the analyzed articles, but the studies have not yet provided a common pathophysiological explanation. Reactions neuropsychiatric disorders were the most prevalent, representing more than 90% of the sample.
