The rising incidence of asthma and allergic conditions is expected to propel the leukotriene modifier market. Factors like pollution, changing climates, and population density are contributing to a rise in asthma and allergies. Leukotriene modifiers help manage these conditions by reducing inflammation and improving respiratory health. For instance, in May 2024, the National Center for Health Statistics reported an increase in asthma prevalence in the US, further driving demand for leukotriene modifiers.

Leading corporations in the leukotriene modifier market are concentrating on the creation of generic versions of drugs like extended-release (ER) tablets to widen their range and cater to the escalating need for fresher, effective therapies. Generic ER tablets are drug compositions meant to gradually dispense their active constituents over a prolonged duration, often offering ease of use and optimized dosage patterns in comparison to immediate-release versions. For instance, in April 2023, Zileuton ER Tablets were introduced to the market by Camber Pharmaceuticals Inc., a pharmaceutical firm based in the U.S. These tablets are used for prevention and long-term treatment of asthma in adults and children 12 years and above. These tablets shouldn't be used for immediate relief from acute asthma attacks, but can be used continuously during acute flare-ups of asthma. Zileuton ER Tablets come in a strength of 600 mg and are available in bottles of 120-count.
