Singulair (Montelukast Sodium)

Singulair (Montelukast Sodium) is a prescription medication used to help control and prevent asthma symptoms, seasonal allergies, and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. It works by blocking substances in the body called leukotrienes, which cause swelling and tightening of the airways.

Why Choose Singulair (Montelukast Sodium)?

  • Helps prevent asthma attacks by reducing airway inflammation.
  • Controls symptoms of allergic rhinitis (sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion).
  • Eases breathing during exercise, preventing exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.
  • Convenient once-daily oral tablet.
  • Suitable for long-term use in both adults and children.

How to Use Singulair (Montelukast Sodium)?

  • Take Singulair exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
  • Do not use Singulair to treat sudden asthma attacks—always have a rescue inhaler available for emergencies.
  • Take it once daily, in the evening for asthma, or as directed for allergies.
  • Can be taken with or without food.
  • Continue using it even when you feel well to maintain asthma/allergy control.
  • Store the medication at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.

Important Safety Information about Singulair

  • Allergies: Avoid Singulair if you are allergic to Montelukast or any of its ingredients.
  • Mental Health: Rare side effects include mood changes, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts. Contact your doctor immediately if these occur.
  • Not for Rescue: Singulair is not a rescue medication and should not be used for sudden asthma attacks.
  • Drug Interactions: Discuss with your doctor if you are on other medications, especially phenobarbital or rifampin, as they can affect Singulair's effectiveness.
