📋Overview
Zileuton is a medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, which plays a key role in the production of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are substances in the body that contribute to inflammation, especially in the airways. Zileuton is most commonly associated with conditions involving chronic airway inflammation, such as asthma. Its use is aimed at reducing the frequency and severity of symptoms related to these inflammatory processes.
