Singulair (gemeric name Montelukast) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the maintenance treatment of asthma and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. Singulair is prescribed to prevent difficulty breathing, chest tightness, wheezing and coughing caused by asthma. Singulair is also used to prevent bronchospasm. Montelukast blocks the action of leukotriene D4 and reduces the bronchoconstriction otherwise caused by the leukotriene, and results in less inflammation.

Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you use. Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs. Singulair may interact with anti-infectives like rifampin and rifabutin, medicines for diabetes like rosiglitazone and repaglinide, medicines for seizures like phenytoin, phenobarbital, and carbamazepine.
Do not use Singulair to treat a sudden attack of asthma symptoms. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during attacks. Talk to your doctor about how to treat symptoms of a sudden asthma attack. If your asthma symptoms get worse or if you have asthma attacks more often, be sure to call your doctor. If you are taking montelukast to treat asthma, continue to take or use all other prescriptions that your doctor has prescribed to treat your asthma. Do not stop taking any of your prescriptions or change the doses of any of your prescriptions unless your doctor tells you that you should.
