Hello
As you mentioned that your doctor advise you to take montek i.e. montelkast 5 mg .
Please don't heed , what the others say .
Montelukast is an anti allergy tablet and used as an anti allergen tablet ( if asthma is due to allergy doctor sometimes prescribe it ).
So , I recommend you , please take this tablet as desired by your doctor .
.
Now about the side effects of this tablet:
These are mild , self limited and inlcude dyspepsia , headache . So these side effects are minor and benefits are more so take without fear.
Good luck.
