ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Antileukotriene

Imagine your body is like a house and your cells are like the people who live in that house. Sometimes, the people in your body might get into fights, and when this happens, they might make something called leukotrienes that can make the fights worse.

But, there are things you can do to stop the fights from getting worse. And one of those things is by using a medicine called antileukotriene.

Antileukotrienes are like superhero medicines that help in stopping the bad guys, the leukotrienes, from making your body's fights worse. They work by blocking the bad guys from being made and stopping them in their tracks, so your body can get back to feeling good again.

So, just like how you can call up your favorite superhero to help you in times of need, your body can use antileukotrienes to help you stop the fights from getting worse.
