"Suffered from seasonal allergies and asthma all my life. Finally, after years of doctors' visits, testing, and even an emergency hospitalization for 3 days, I focused heavily on research. Every 4 years, our bodies develop a certain tolerance to constant OTC allergy meds. Now, at a new 4-year cycle, montelukast has been a life changer. I already concluded my 4 years with Allegra, Zyrtec, Claritin, and endless nasal sprays. With montelukast, I no longer need an inhaler regularly. Just one pill once a day, no more sneeze attacks. Can enjoy the sunshine, long hikes in the wildflowers, and even be around horses again. Use GoodRx to help locate the most affordable option near you. Beyond blessed to have found this option, shocked none of my doctors mentioned this lifesaver. Basically, this single pill replaced 3 daily medications for allergies and asthma. Now on week 3, and it has continued to amaze me."

"I never write reviews, but I felt like I had to write this one for the others out there dealing with similar breathing issues. I struggle with my mental health on a daily basis, so I was pretty scared to start this pill after reading about all the potential side effects. I have constant allergies/asthma symptoms and what I believe is undiagnosed sleep apnea. I got to the point where I really couldn’t breathe anymore, especially at night, and I had no other option than to start this emergency pill. I’m on day 15 of 30, and I’m so glad I started it. I can finally breathe through my nose again, and I'm not wheezing as much. I take it at 8:30 PM. I haven't experienced any side effects other than minor and occasional headaches shortly after taking the pill. It's not a fix-all miracle pill (no pill is), but it really helped me. It’s pretty horrible not being able to breathe and impacts so much of a person’s life. My heart goes out to everyone else struggling with breathing issues."
