WHAT SINGULAIR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT SINGULAIR IS
Singulair is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that blocks substances
called
leukotrienes.
HOW SINGULAIR WORKS
Leukotrienes cause narrowing and swelling of airways in the lungs and
also
cause allergy symptoms. By blocking leukotrienes, Singulair improves
asthma symptoms, helps control asthma and improves seasonal allergy
symptoms (also known as hay fever or seasonal allergic rhinitis).
WHEN SINGULAIR SHOULD BE USED
Your doctor has prescribed Singulair to treat asthma, preventing your
asthma symptoms during the day and night.
*
Singulair is used for the treatment of adults and adolescents 15 years
of
age and older who are not adequately controlled on their medication
and
need additional therapy.
*
Singulair also helps prevent the narrowing of airways triggered by
exercise.
*
In those asthmatic patients in whom Singulair is indicated in asthma,
Singulair can also provide symptomatic relief of seasonal allergic
rhinitis.
Your doctor will determine how Singulair should be used depending on
the
symptoms a
