Singulair (monteleukast) is a once-a-day tablet that will reduce the frequency and severity of asthma and allergy symptoms. It is a preventive treatment, and will provide no benefit if an asthma attack does occur; patients should keep a rescue treatment, such as albuterol, on-hand for use if needed.

Singulair is a is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, which reduces constriction and inflammation of the airways as well as preventing itchiness, nasal or sinus congestion, coughing, and other symptoms of allergic reaction. This product does not contain a steroid; patients who are unable to take or averse to taking steroids may buy Singulair for similar benefit. It can also be used along with steroids if desired.

This medication comes in tablets, chewable tablets, or granules designed to dissolve in the mouth or when mixed in fluids or soft foods. The majority of patients buy Singulair tablets; chewable tablets and granules are typically reserved for children or individuals who have difficulty swallowing whole tablets.

Singulair can be used in patients age 2 and up, though dosage modifications will be needed for patients under age 15.

Taking Singulair

In most cases Singulair is taken daily, once per day. The exceptions to this are for seasonal allergies, in which case its only taken during the applicable months, and for predictable exacerbations---exercise-induced asthma or predicted exposure, such as visiting someone with allergy-inducing pets---in which case the medication should be taken 2 hours before anticipated exercise or exposure.

Doses may be taken with or without food as desired, though a full glass of fluid is recommended. Patients who buy Singulair to manage asthma are advised to take the medication at night; for other allergies time of day doesn't matter, though taking it at the same time each day helps keep levels of the medication consistent in the body.

Dosage is straightforward:

• Patients 15 years and up: 10 mg once per day.
• Patients 6 to 14 years old: 5 mg once per day.
• Patients 2 to 5 years old: 4 mg once per day.
• Patients under 2 years old: consult a doctor.

More than 10 mg per day is not recommended, even though many patients suffer from more than one ailment that Singulair treats. No additional benefit is to be had and the odds of experiencing serious side effects go up significantly.

Treatment may continue for as long as it provides benefit. In treating asthma, patients may buy Singulair indefinitely.

Warnings Before Use

Side effects from Singulair are rare and usually mild and transient, disappearing after the first week or two of treatment. Common side effects include:

• Stomach upset
• Diarrhea
• Mild fever
• Headache
• Loss of bladder control in children
• Cold-like symptoms; stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, etc.

More rarely serious side effects develop, which warrant medical attention:

• Changes in mood or behavior
• Ear pain, warmth, or swelling
• Severe rash
• Unexplained bruising
• Muscle weakness
• Tingling in extremities
• Numbness in extremities

Singulair is very unlikely to interact with other medications, with the sole exception of certain malaria treatments. Speak with a doctor before taking Singulair if preventing or treating malaria.
