SINGULAIR 10MG — ADVANCED 24-HOUR ASTHMA & ALLERGY CONTROL

Singulair is a high-quality maintenance medication containing Montelukast Sodium. It belongs to a class of drugs called Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists (LTRAs). Unlike rescue inhalers that work on adrenaline pathways, Singulair blocks "leukotrienes"—the specific chemicals your body releases when you breathe in an allergen (like pollen) or during exercise. By blocking these, Singulair reduces swelling in the lungs and relaxes the muscles in the airways, making breathing significantly easier.

• Manufacturer: Organon (formerly Merck/MSD)

• Pack Size: 28 or 30 Tablets

What Is Singulair Used For?

Singulair 10mg is a long-term "preventative" therapy. It is particularly effective for:

1. Asthma Maintenance: Preventing asthma attacks and long-term shortness of breath.

2. Allergic Rhinitis: Relieving seasonal "Hay Fever" symptoms (sneezing, stuffy/runny nose, and itchy nose) when other treatments aren't effective.

3. Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction (EIB): Preventing the narrowing of airways that happens specifically during or after physical activity.

4. Chronic Urticaria: Sometimes used by specialists to help manage chronic hives that do not respond to standard antihistamines.

⚠️ Critical Safety Warning: Mental Health Alert

Neuropsychiatric Events: In rare cases, Singulair can cause serious mental health side effects. These include agitation, aggression, vivid dreams/nightmares, depression, or suicidal thoughts. If you or your family notice any unusual changes in your mood or behavior, stop the medication immediately and contact your doctor or our pharmacist. Not for Acute Attacks: Singulair is not a rescue medication. It will not stop a sudden asthma attack. Always keep your fast-acting "Blue Inhaler" (Salbutamol/Ventolin) with you for emergencies.

How to Use

The standard dose is one 10mg tablet once daily.

Application Tips:

• For Asthma: Take your tablet in the evening. This helps provide maximum protection during the night and early morning when asthma symptoms are often at their worst.

• For Allergic Rhinitis: The tablet can be taken at any time of day that suits you best.

• For Exercise (EIB): Take the tablet at least 2 hours before exercise. Do not take an additional dose within 24 hours.

• With or Without Food: Singulair can be taken regardless of meals.

• Swallow Whole: Do not crush or chew the 10mg film-coated tablet.

Common Side Effects

The most common side effects include headache, stomach pain, thirst, or "flu-like" symptoms (sore throat, cough). Some patients experience a mild skin rash. As noted above, monitor closely for any changes in mood or sleep patterns. If you experience severe skin reactions or swelling of the face, seek medical help immediately.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the tablets in their original blister pack to protect them from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I stop using my "Inhaler" once I start Singulair?

A: No. Singulair is an add-on therapy. You must continue using your steroid preventer inhaler exactly as prescribed unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Q: How soon will it start working?

A: You may notice an improvement within one day, but for asthma, it usually takes one to two weeks of consistent daily use to reach its full protective effect.

Q: Can I take it with "Panadol" or "Vitamin C"?

A: Yes. Singulair does not have known major interactions with common painkillers or vitamins.

Q: Does it contain Steroids?

A: No. Singulair is a non-steroid tablet. This makes it a preferred choice for patients who wish to minimize their total steroid intake.
