Which of the following is a potential side effect of using leukotriene modifiers? A) Increased permeability of the vasculature B) Increased airway constriction C) Decreased mucus secretion D) Inhibition of inflammatory response
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify a potential side effect associated with the use of leukotriene modifiers, a category of medication that affects the inflammatory response in conditions like asthma. We need to evaluate the options provided to find the correct answer.
Answer
Increased airway constriction
The final answer is B) Increased airway constriction
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B) Increased airway constriction
More Information
Leukotriene modifiers can induce bronchoconstriction, leading to increased airway constriction.
