Singulair (Montelukast)

Singulair (montelukast) is a medication used to prevent and manage asthma and allergy symptoms by blocking substances in the body called leukotrienes, which cause airway inflammation, swelling, and tightening. By doing so, it helps reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks and allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. It is typically taken once daily, either as a tablet, chewable, or granules, and is used as part of a broader treatment plan. Singulair does not provide immediate relief of acute asthma symptoms but helps control ongoing inflammation for better breathing over time.
