Leukotriene antagonists reduce epileptic seizures‐related hospitalization in older adult populations with allergic rhinitis or asthma: A population‐based cohort study using the Shizuoka Kokuho database: The Shizuoka study

Managing the risk of epileptic seizures in older adults is increasingly important as the population ages. Leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTRAs) are commonly used to treat asthma or allergic rhinitis. Preclinical studies suggest that LTRAs have antiepileptic effects; however, few population‐based etiological studies on this topic have been available. Our study explored whether LTRAs reduce hospitalization risk associated with epileptic seizures in older individuals with asthma or allergic rhinitis.
