More facts about Generic Singulair (Montelukast 4 mg):

What is the medication called Singulair?

Singulair is a brand name owned by Merck, a large transnational pharmaceutical company. It is registered for the medication called Montelukast. The active substance was developed in the early 2000s and the exclusive patent of Merck has expired in 2012. Since that year, the medication is also available in a form of generics, i.e. the same medication made by other pharmaceutical companies and named differently. It means that if you want to save your money on the therapy when your doctor prescribes you to buy Singulair, you can purchase a cheaper version with the same composition and effect instead.

Montelukast is produced in various forms such as simple oral pills, chewable tablets, and flash pills. It is an antileukotriene drug and a relatively new bronchodilator used for the therapy of asthma and other conditions in which the obstruction of bronchi lumen occurs. Besides, it is also used for the therapy of allergic rhinitis that occurs during the blossoming season or continues all year around.

The medication selectively blocks leukotriene receptors suppressing the most potent mediators of chronic and persistent inflammation that promotes the hyperactivity of bronchi in bronchial asthma.

When taken orally, the medication quickly and almost completely absorbs. The maximum concentration in the blood plasma occurs in two-three hours after the pill intake. The bioavailability, i.e. the amount of the substance active within the body is 64-73%. It is bind to plasma proteins by 99%. The substance is metabolized in the liver and is excreted in bile.

Singulair and its generics reduce the strength of smooth muscles of bronchioles and vessels spasm, swelling, movement of eosinophils and macrophages; lowers the secretion of mucus and betters mucociliary transport. It is highly effective when taken orally. Bronchodilator effect develops during one day and maintains for a long time. However, you should remember that the pills aren’t used to stop acute asthma attacks. To deal with them you need to always have at hand a respective device (inhaler) for emergency help. In an acute asthma attack, short-acting beta-agonist inhalers are used. If during the therapy with Singulair or its generic you need bigger dosages or more frequent use of short-acting beta-agonist inhalers, you need to inform your doctor immediately.

What is the medication sold as Generic Singulair?

We have previously discussed that the exclusive patent of Merck for the production of the medication based on Montelukast had already expired. This allowed other pharmaceutical companies to also start producing the same medications. However, they cannot use the registered brand name Singulair. But you can easily find the cheaper analog of the branded medication if you look for Generic Singulair or Generic Montelukast. These collective terms are introduced by the World Health Organization to help people easily find the analogs of the medicines they need without researching their official registered names.

You can without any worries buy Generic Singulair and use it instead of the branded medication as long as you check the active substance on the box of pills and it is Montelukast. You should also check the dosage per pill to be sure that the dosage corresponds to the one appointed by your doctor. If you purchase the medication from a reliable seller such as our online pharmacy, you can be sure that you will get the highest quality medication and a qualified consultation of a pharmacist.

When should you buy Singulair?

The pills can be used for the therapy of children older than 2 years. The medication is used as an addition to the therapy of bronchial asthma in individuals with persistent mild to moderate asthma which is insufficiently controlled by the inhaled glucocorticosteroids as well as in insufficient control of the disease with the help of short-acting beta-agonists (stimulants).

Your therapist can also advise you to buy Montelukast to use it as an alternative treatment method if you suffer from persistent asthma but hadn’t had any acute episodes for a long time as well as if you are intolerant of inhaled glucocorticosteroids.

The pills can be also taken before a physical exercising or a prevention of acute asthma attack if you expect to get exposed to an allergen.

In some cases, the medication can be prescribed for the therapy of seasonal or year-round allergic rhinitis.

Please inform your doctor about your intentions to buy Generic Montelukast if he or she didn’t appoint you the therapy with it. Before you start taking the pills, you need to get your condition assessed by a specialist and receive from them a comprehensive consultation on how to use the medication properly.

When shouldn’t you buy Singulair?

The medication is contraindicated for people with hypersensitivity to the medication, i.e. allergic reactions from the medication use. Besides, it is contraindicated for pregnant and breastfeeding women and children younger than 2 years (for chewable tablets) or 5 years for regular pills.

If you plan to become pregnant soon, you need to inform your healthcare provider about your intentions so he or she will advise you on more suitable therapy.

What medication interactions can be negative for your health?

The medication is metabolized with the participation of CYP3A4 enzyme. Therefore, it is important to use it cautiously with the inhibitors of this enzyme (for instance, phenytoin, phenobarbital, and Rifampicin) as they can contribute to the elevated levels of Montelukast in the blood and the development of adverse effects.

In case you use any medications or supplements, you need to inform your healthcare provider about it before you order Singulair pills or their generic.

Side effects Generic Singulair can provoke

The medication can cause such adverse reactions as pain in the abdomen, headache, thirst, upper respiratory tract infection, sleep disorders, including nightmares, hallucinations, sleeplessness, sleepwalking, anxiety, agitation, aggressive behavior, depression, psychomotor agitation, tremor, disorientation, suicidal ideation and behavior, and allergic reactions.

How to use Generic Singulair pills?

In this section, we provide general recommendations on the dosages for different groups of patients but before you order Generic Singulair, make sure to get a comprehensive consultation of a specialist and obtain recommendations suitable namely for your case.

Children aged from two to five years are administered chewable pills. The daily dosage for them is a single 4 mg pill a day before bedtime. The pill should be taken one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal.

Children aged from six to fourteen years should take one chewable 5 mg pill in the evening. The pill should be taken one hour before meal or two hours after a meal.

Children older than fifteen years and adults are advised to take regular coated pills by 10 mg each. The dosage is one pill a day.

The therapeutic effect of the medication develops within one day. If you started the course of therapy with the medication, you should continue it even if the symptoms lowered or faded or, on the contrary, you suffer from acute attacks.

People with kidney insufficiency of mild to moderate severity or moderate liver insufficiency do not require dosage adjustments.

You shouldn’t order Montelukast and use it as an alternative to the regular therapy with the low doses of inhaled corticosteroids if you suffer from moderate to severe asthma. It is suitable only for people with mild asthma who hadn’t had any acute episodes for a long time already or if you are hypersensitive to inhaled glucocorticoids. Persistent asthma of a mild degree is asthma with the symptoms that occur more than once a week, but less than 1 time per day; night attacks that occur more than 2 times a month, but less than 1 time per week, and the normal functioning of the lungs restores between the attacks.

If satisfactory control of bronchial asthma is achieved after the treatment (usually, within one month), it is needed to consider the need for additional or other anti-inflammatory therapy based on a phased treatment system for bronchial asthma. Periodical control of asthma in patients who receive the medication is mandatory.
