Can Singulair Be Taken Long-Term?

Singulair can be taken for a long time. The main ingredient of Singulair is montelukast, which is a leukotriene inhibitor that can reduce congestion and edema of the respiratory mucosa, decrease the secretion of inflammatory secretions, and also has certain anti-allergic effects, relaxing bronchial smooth muscle, and dilating bronchi. Clinically, it can be used for allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, etc.

Firstly, Singulair is a commonly used drug in people's lives. It belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and can treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. It can promote respiration and reduce inflammatory reactions in the body, promoting blood supply to the heart and keeping the respiratory tract unobstructed. If children over one year old have asthma or rhinitis, this drug can be used for treatment.

Secondly, understanding the dosage and administration of Singulair is beneficial for the efficacy of the drug. This drug generally needs to be taken once a day, with about one tablet each time. It usually depends on the patient's condition, and the drug should be taken when needed. This drug has good tolerability. If people have mild adverse reactions, there is no need to worry too much. The specific manifestations are dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, or mild skin itching.

Thirdly, if people have mild adverse reactions after taking Singulair, they can promote the elimination of drug components from the body by walking appropriately and drinking more water. If people have a small probability of diarrhea or rash, targeted treatment can be performed, such as using calamine lotion to relieve skin itching. Some hemostatic and intestinal flora-regulating drugs can also be used.
