Zyflo is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to treat
asthma as well as to relieve the stuffy, runny nose and sneezing caused by seasonal allergies and hay fever. Leukotrienes are chemicals that occur naturally in the body that cause inflammation during asthma and seasonal
allergies. Zyflo helps by interfering with the formation of leukotriene. Zyflo can reduce the frequency of asthma attack, if taken on a regular basis. However, Zyflo does not help during an asthma attack. Other quick
action asthma drugs should be used during an acute attack. Main ingredient in Zyflo is Zileuton.
ZYFLO CAUTION
Zyflo should NOT be used during an asthma attack.
Inform your doctor if you have liver disease before taking Zyflo.
