| 5 | Allergies | None, worked as I expected | I felt like I had to leave a review because of all the negativity. Not to dismiss them, but I want people to read this and see that not all experiences are bad. I am a football coach and took it for two years because the allergy issues I had when I only took an antihistamine was unbearable. Singulair relieved probably 85-90% of my allergy issues. I finally got off of Singulair because I decided to do allergy shots instead. Would recommend to anyone with the time and means to get shots. If not, go with Singulair. I had ZERO issues with it. | M | 31 | 2 years 10MG 1X day | 2/5/2023 | 5 | Allergic Rhinitis & Post Nasal drip | No side effects. | Love it, I don't take any other hay fever medication, | F | 58 | 14 months 10mg 2X W | 11/21/2020 | 5 | Angioedema | No side effects.

SINGULAIR (MONTELUKAST SODIUM): Montelukast is used regularly to prevent the wheezing and shortness of breath caused by asthma and decrease the number of asthma attacks. Montelukast is also used before exercise to prevent breathing problems during exercise (bronchospasm). This medication can help decrease the number of times you need to use your rescue inhaler. This medication is also used to relieve symptoms of hay fever and allergic rhinitis (such as sneezing, stuffy/runny/itchy nose). This medication does not work right away and should not be used to treat sudden asthma attacks or other breathing problems. This drug works by blocking certain natural substances (leukotrienes) that may cause or worsen asthma and allergies. It helps make breathing easier by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the airways.
