User Reviews for montelukast oral

For years, I had terrible itchy ears, this medication has help it tremendously. I also do not get as many allergy attacks as I used to which keeps my asthma at bay.

I have been suffering from a chronic cough as a result of a chronic nasal drip as a result of moving across country. I was using a combination of Allegra, Flonase and Mucinex with poor results. Two weeks ago my inner ear filled with fluid. My Dr. prescribed Montelukast and I've been taking it for two weeks. Coughing much less, still use Flonase but stopped the Allegra and Mucinex. I would call the treatment a success.

Allergy testing came back negative but when I kept having cold weather induced asthma my doctor wanted me to try this. I'm already on symbicort & was doing good except cold weather. Well, the montelukestat helped it completely. We had a very cold winter this year & I was totally fine outdoors. Also I don't have any of the side effects some people mentioned, I feel great!!!

been using since i was hospitalized in dec 2015 i still have all the symptoms that i had before going to the hospital has not changed a thing

To the best of my knowledge, I have experienced none of the side effects mention above. I have had to use my emergency inhaler on very rare occasions but overall I feel the the medication has allowed me to suffer far fewer asthma attacks than when on other meds or using only emergency inhalers.

So far, this was the only asthma medication that works well for me. My asthma is almost a non-existing problem. I rarely use my inhaler. However, it gave me hallucinations, realistic nightmares, suicidal thoughts and tiredness. I still take montelukast because my asthma would make me too sick to get out of bed. I think the good outweighs the bad but I strongly wish I don't have the side effects.

I was on Singular for many years. No other allergy meds helped. Now generic came out and my doctor said I could switch. So far, so good. I have environmental allergies. Mold is one of my majors.

I think this is causing my bad ras and itching on my leg and arms

I had severe allergies to pollen and dust that would trigger swollen eyes, runny nose, and asthma attacks. This medicine, combined with Allegra, has my allergies and asthma controlled completely.

When I first started taking this med, I had severe sinus pain for about 2-3 days and then it subsided. I take this medication to control my allergies which have been triggering my asthma. After 3-4 mo.of dealing with constant Asthma attacks, bronchitis, walking pneumonia, this medication has made a huge difference. I still get wheezing every now and then in certain environments but nothing like what I had. I take this pill nightly before bed.

This medication works well for me but it did cause some heartburn for the first couple of months and it continues to cause frequent urination that causes dehydration, so be careful to drink fluids consistently throughout the day.

After a week of taking nightly doses, symptoms have not subsided.

when I first started taking this it worked wonderfully; now, after 2+ months it seems to be less effective, still taking it nightly.

Has been working well as far as I can tell

Felt tired and was hard to breath after 2 days of using the Med. I felt recovering and my energy curve start climbing

Works well for my breathing but makes me dizzy and off balance with a terrible headache.

My son, who is now 15, has taken singular two different times. It is the only drug that can push him through a rough asthma season. BUT after two weeks on it he becomes lethargic and can't concentrate. He has trouble sleeping and has no energy. It is very scary to see this kind of transformation in an active, happy teenager. We do not use this until it is absolutely necessary.

Started taking this medication in July to help with breathing issues, which it did help.After two months I began to have itching and hives. Thought it was shampoo, detergent, heat rash, etc. Couldn't find cause. Called my pharmacist about reactions to this medication. He said it would have happened within the first week, but stop taking it and see if the itching stopped. Two days ago I stopped taking it. Now the hives and itching are going away. Needless to say, I won't take this again. I see other reviews that say this generic for Singulair doesn't work. I have not taken it, so I have no comparison. Will talk to my doctor soon about it.
