Zileuton, a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, is a primary intervention for the prophylaxis and treatment of chronic asthma in patients aged 12 and older. Although zileuton is frequently administered in conjunction with inhaled corticosteroids for chronic asthma, it is not effective for managing acute asthma attacks. Zileuton is also used off-label in patients with aspirin-induced asthma. The application of the drug extends to aspirin-induced asthma, with research supporting its efficacy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dermatological conditions such as acne, pruritic manifestations in Sjögren-Larsson syndrome, and atopic dermatitis. This activity delves into the complexities of clinical toxicity, drug interactions, pharmacokinetics, and the importance of vigilant monitoring while administering zileuton to patients. This activity equips the interprofessional healthcare team with the necessary skills to manage diverse clinical scenarios and improve patient care in the context of respiratory and dermatological conditions using zileuton effectively.
