Accolate (zafirlukast) is an oral leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) for the maintenance treatment of asthma. Available as a tablet, it blocks the effects of substances which cause constriction of the airways, build-up of mucus in the lungs and inflammation of the breathing passages. Accolate was the first LTRA to be marketed in the USA and is now approved in over 60 countries, including the UK, Japan, Italy, Spain, Canada, Brazil and China. Accolate is approved in the USA for adults and children aged 5 years and above. Accolate will not stop an asthma attack once it starts. You will still need to use an airway-opening medication when an attack occurs. Dosage:ADULTS The usual dose for adults and children 12 years of age and over is 20 milligrams twice a day. CHILDRENThe usual dose for children 7 to 11 years of age is 10 milligrams twice a day. Safety and effectiveness in children under 7 years of age have not been established.
