Zafirlukast, sold under the brand Accolate among others, is a medication used for the long term treatment of asthma and allergic rhinitis.[1] It is less preferred to inhaled steroids for asthma.[1] It is taken by mouth.[1] Benefits may take up to two weeks to occur.[1]
Common side effects include headache and stomach upset.[1] Severe side effects may include liver problems and potentially Churg-Strauss syndrome.[1] Use is likely safe in pregnancy.[1] It is a leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) and works by decreasing airway mucous, swelling, bronchoconstriction, and inflammation.[1]
Zafirlukast was approved for medical use in the United States in 1996.[1] It is approved in some but not all parts of Europe.[3] In the United States it costs about 34 USD per month as of 2021.[4]
