Pranlu oral suspension is used to treat the symptoms of asthma and allergic rhinitis.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Pranlukast blocks leukotriene D4 (LTD4) in a selective way, acting at the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor in the human airway. It stops LTD4 from working at the CysLT1 receptor, and in this way it prevents airway edema, contraction of smooth muscle and the increased release of thick, sticky mucus.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Taking pranlukast hasn't been linked with a higher risk of pregnancy loss, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, low maternal weight, preterm delivery, low Apgar scores or reduced birth length in infants. Babies born to women who used pranlukast had a slightly lower birth weight, but this could be because of how severe or how well controlled the mother's asthma was.
