Overview

ZAFIRLUKAST   What is Zafirlukast (Accolate). Zafirlukast is part of a class of medications known as leukotriene receptor antagonists. Leukotrienes, specifically LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4, are pro-inflammatory mediators heavily involved in the mechanisms behind asthma. When provoked, leukotrienes constrict the airways, making breathing harder. Zafirlukast blocks leukotrienes from closing the airways, effectively making breathing easier.    What is the relationship between Zafirlukast and long-COVID.
