Singulair (montelukast) for Hay Fever: After using Singular for only 4 days, I was bragging about it to my friends who suffer from frequent allergy symptoms. It was prescribed both as an allergy relief and asthma prevention. In these spring months, I have only sneezed about 6 times and the itchy eyes and runny or stuffy nose are gone. It reappears if I forget a dose, so I attribute the relief to Singulair. As far as it preventing asthma for me, I can't comment yet as I am also taking Advair to prevent asthma. The doctor has lowered my dosage of Advair and I hope to soon be able to discontinue the Advair and stay with Singulair. The listed side effects are many, but I think I've only noticed one so far (water retention in ankles).

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: Although Singulair 10mg tablets work great for me on a daily, regular basis for maintenance issues with asthma, I have found that one of its side effects has appeared. At first it was not connected until recently when information came out that Singulair could cause ear infections. This particular side effect appeared about 3-4 months after starting Singulair but no connectione was made until recently after using it for two years. So be aware of side effects and keep close tabs on usage results.

Singulair (montelukast) for Hay Fever: I was able to eliminate the use of four allergy medicines while using Singulair. I don't have asthma or any lung congestion; but my sinuses just wouldn't stop for anything, regardless of what antihistamine I was taking, whether in pill or nasal spray form. Singulair allowed me to sleep without a cough drop in my mouth and to breathe all night through my nose (something I haven't done in over 10 years).

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: I have had Asthma all my life. This medication CHANGED my life. I have always used albuterol (inhaler and nebulizer) for fast acting relief, along with steroid preventative inhalers. Two years ago when I was diagnosed yet again with pneumonia, my new doctor prescribed Singulair. I am an active person, who likes to run etc. Until Singulair I had never in my lifetime ran without having to use my albuterol both before and after. Not only that, this year I made it through flu season without developing pneumonia. Until I used Singulair I had never known what it felt like to be "normal". To run and exist without having to stop because I was wheezing and couldn't breathe.

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: Before I started on Singulair I would have several serious asthma flares every year requiring prednisone treatment. Since starting Singular several years ago I have only had one serious asthma flare. My allergic rhinitis is also much better controlled.

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: I used Advair before but after a while (and one fast-acting inhaler use), I was prescribed Singulair. I have not once had to worry about asthma in over 8 years.

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: Before I started to using Singulair I suffered terribly and had to use my inhaler twice a day. I have not used my inhaler in over four years. Great drug.

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: I had been using inhalers - steroid (Serevant) and fast acting ones for many years. I couldn't climb stairs without needing a "puff". I couldn't play with the kids without having to stop often. After one serious attack I had to use an atomizer at the doctors office and I started Singulair from the next day. I have not used or carried an inhaler for almost 10 years now. It has changed my life. I can run with my kids, walk up stairs, shovel snow, etc.

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: Singulair has been a life saver for me. I am a newly diagnosed asthmatic which had become debilitating. I was put on a course of prednisolone to relieve symptoms, then doctor tried to control asthma with inhalers. Couldn't get under control with only the inhalers so was prescribed Singulair. It is amazing, I hardly use my reliever. Before I was using anything up to 40 times a day. Hayfever symptoms reduced also. Able to run again, I'd reached the point where I could hardly walk never mind run. Now I'm starting to get my life back.

Singulair (montelukast) for Asthma, Maintenance: With Singulair I don't have to take any inhalers although my doctor tells me I should have them close by just in case. I haven't had to use a rescue inhaler for over 2 years. I don't need a steriod inhaler either. I had an anaphylatic reaction from allergy shots, so oral medicines are the way to go for me. Now I only have to take Allegra and Singulair and I am virtually symptom free after years of frustration and near death.

Singulair (montelukast) for Hay Fever: After three weeks of suffering, tried Singulair and within 45 minutes started feeling good again. It stopped my post nasal drip. No sides effects yet. This is my fifth day using it.
