Singulair to Prevent Asthma Attacks

Singulair, also appreciated as Montelukast, serves an effective leukotriene inhibitor. The chemicals called leukotrienes are released by the organism while you breathe in the allergens. They lead to the lung swelling and muscle tightening that result in an asthma attack.

Singulair is a powerful medication that is aimed at prevention of this process. The treatment is recommended for asthma attacks warning both to adults and children above 12 months old. Additionally, the drug is used to prevent exercise bronchospasms in adults and kids over 6 years old. The symptoms of perennial and seasonal allergies can be also improved by Singulair. Since the medication produces a drastic impact on the organism and its functioning, it should not be given to anyone without previous doctor’s consultations.

Vital Information before the Medication Intake: Contraindications, Precautions, Warnings

Once you are already using Singulair to prevent asthma attacks, do not increase the dose to warn bronchospasms. Otherwise, you risk getting severe overdose side effects. Do not take the medication if you are allergic to Montelukast as its active ingredient or similar remedies. To enhance the safety level of the treatment course, provide your doctor with a complete list of other medical conditions you have and medications you take. Pay exceptional attention to asthma and history of serious allergic reactions to the drugs, especially aspirin.

Despite the medication is not expected to harm an unborn or nursing child, its administration should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation period.

Recommendations for Singulair Use

Consult your doctor before the medication intake and follow all the directions while taking Singulair. The medication does not produce immediate results, so it should not be taken during asthma attacks. Use Singulair pill daily to prevent allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Never chew, break or crush the medication, swallow it whole with a glass of water.

Do not change any adjustments ordered by the doctors. Do not stop the medication use before the set date, since the symptoms of the condition may improve before the disorder is treated. Continue using Singulair even if you have felt a considerable relief.

Follow your intake schedule to make the treatment course safe. Once you have missed a dose, administer it when possible; though skip it in case the following one should be used soon.

• Sudden mood changes;
• Ear problems: pain, swelling, ringing;
