What is it for?
Asthma is a chronic disease affecting your airways. They are the tubes through which you can breathe air into your lungs.
Asthma causes wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and chest tightness. Singulair reduces the number of asthma attacks occurring both in the daytime and at night. It can be used for a long-term treatment in adults and children.
If you want to get rid of breathing problems while exercising take Singulair. Also it helps to use your usual inhaler less often.
Allergies cause many different symptoms that require treatment, for example sneezing, runny, itchy, stuffy nose, and swollen, red eyes.
One of the most common types of allergies is the reaction to something that you breathe in from the air and causes nasal reactions.
About 50 mln of people in the US suffer from various allergic diseases. Singulair is the right treatment for those too. It comes in different types: square beige tablets of 10mg and pink chewable tablets of 5 and 4 mg.
How does it work?
Montekulast is an active ingredient in Singulair. When our organism is exposed to some kinds of allergies it releases the special chemical as a reaction to allergen. What Singulair does - is block the action of the chemical.
How do people get the symptoms of asthma attacks?
This chemical is released from the lungs and it causes inflammation. It means that the walls of your airways are swollen.
The muscles in your airways contract and as a result your airways are narrowed. Thus it becomes difficult to inhale and exhale. Singulair prevents inflammation and stops the narrowing of the airways by blocking the action of harmful chemical in your lungs. In such a way the asthma attack is prevented.
Singulair acts in the same way to stop asthma while exercising. Harmful chemicals can be released not only in our lungs but also in the nasal passages especially when people are suffering from seasonal allergies.
One of the most common types of such allergies is high fever when different allergen substances (for example pollen, cigarette smoke, cold air) cause allergic reaction.
Running nose, sneezing, itching are all the results of the action of the chemical. In this case Singulair prevents its effect and relieves our body from the above mentioned symptoms.
What is important to know?
Singulair is not prescribed as a first line treatment of asthma because its ingredients are not as effective as inhaled steroids. It will not work efficiently enough if an asthma attack has already started or if you are having a sudden an acute attack.
Then you have to use other medicine that acts really fast. It can be used as a preventive medication.
But if you feel that your inhaled steroid does not do the job itself you can take Singulair as an additional treatment. If you cannot use inhaled steroids or do not want to use them any longer for some reasons then you can also stick to Singulair.
One of the greatest advantages of this drug is that it is very convenient to take as it is oral medication. It comes in granules and tablets.
The tablet is chewing that is why it does not create any difficulties while giving it to children who are not able to swallow the whole tablet.
Also young kids are not very likely to drink liquid medications but will like to take the granules dissolved in a teaspoon and mixed with something tasty.
For treating asthma children are recommended to take Singulair in the evening but those who treat allergies can take it whenever they feel like, but still it is better to do it at the same time very day.
