Kampo Medicine + Montelukast Sodium
Montelukast Sodium brand name: Singulair.
We found no known interaction between Kampo Medicine and Montelukast Sodium in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Kampo Medicine and Montelukast Sodium
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Montelukast Sodium and Kampo Medicine in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Kampo Medicine at all — not against Montelukast Sodium, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Montelukast Sodium
This page covers Kampo Medicine only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Montelukast Sodium page lists 81 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Adrafinil (moderate), African Wild Potato (moderate), Bacopa (moderate) and Berberine (moderate).
By severity: 1 major · 56 moderate · 24 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Montelukast Sodium page
“If you rely on montelukast (Singulair) for asthma or allergies, this list deserves genuine attention. The one major-rated concern is activated charcoal, which can soak up the medicine in your gut before it absorbs, leaving you with a weaker dose just when your airways need a steady one.”

Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Kampo Medicine is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Kampo Medicine reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified October 4, 2026. The Kampo Medicine and Montelukast Sodium records this page draws on were last updated June 20, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
About Kampo Medicine
What is Kampo Medicine?
- Digestive complaints
- Cold and flu symptoms
- Menopausal symptoms
- Fatigue and general weakness
- Constipation
- Pain and inflammation
Kampo is a traditional Japanese system of herbal medicine that uses standardized multi-herb formulas, many of which are prescribed by doctors in Japan. Some formulas have modest supportive evidence for certain conditions, but quality and strength of research vary widely. Because Kampo products combine many ingredients, talk with a pharmacist or doctor before using them, especially if you take other medicines or have a health condition.
Roots, rhizomes, bark, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, and minerals depending on the formula · Granules, powders, decoctions (teas), tablets, and capsules
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Kampo Medicine is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Kampo Medicine record says about it on its own.
Kampo Medicine: dosing
There is no single standard dose for "Kampo medicine" because it is a whole system of many different formulas. Each formula has its own typical dosing, which can also depend on the person and the condition being treated.In Japan, doses are often based on standardized extract granules and prescribed by a clinician.

About Montelukast
What Is Montelukast Used For?
Brand name: Singulair
Montelukast is used for long-term control of asthma, to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (airways tightening during exercise), and to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis. The age ranges differ by product.
It is not for treating a sudden asthma attack. For allergic rhinitis, it is meant for people who have not responded well to, or cannot tolerate, other treatments. Oral granules are labeled for asthma and allergic rhinitis, but not for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
