What age is montelukast approved for use in children?

6 months and older
1 year and older
2 years of age and older
5 years of age and older

The correct answer is: 2 years of age and older

Montelukast is approved for use in children as young as 2 years of age and older. This is because it is used to treat asthma and seasonal allergies, which are conditions that typically start to manifest after 2 years of age. The options of 6 months and older, 1 year and older, and 5 years of age and older are incorrect because they do not fall within the approved age range. While children may still be prescribed montelukast at these ages, it would be considered off-label usage and should only be done under the guidance of a doctor.
