Can Montelukast Sodium Oral Granules Be Mixed With Liquid?

I am giving Montelukast sodium oral granules 4mg to my son who is 3&half year old. Doctor told me to mix the granules with water and drink it, but as per instruction in the internet say don t mix with any other liquid. From past 4 months i am mixing the granules with water and drinking. Is it any harm in doing so???

Hello,

Mixing with liquid might affect its efficacy. You can crush the pill and ask to take orally.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
