This Merck-sponsored study evaluated the effect of montelukast 5 mg, or inhaled salmeterol, 50 mcg, added to inhaled fluticasone in reducing the maximum percentage decrease in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) after an exercise challenge and response to rescue bronchodilation with albuterol in 154 children aged 6 to 14 years with persistent asthma and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB).
