SINGULAIR helps prevent asthma symptoms before they start.
SINGULAIR is a daily controller medicine for asthma. In clinical studies, compared with people with asthma who took a placebo (sugar pill), people with asthma who were treated with SINGULAIR had:
- Less need to use their fast-acting inhalers
- Fewer asthma symptoms during the day
- Fewer awakenings due to asthma symptoms at night
- Fewer asthma attacks*
- More days that their asthma was controlled
SINGULAIR is available by prescription only.
SINGULAIR can help you have fewer asthma symptoms and need your fast-acting inhaler less often.
SINGULAIR is a prescription medicine approved to help control asthma in adults and children as young as 12 months and to help relieve the symptoms of indoor and outdoor allergies (outdoor allergies in adults and children as young as 2 years, and indoor allergies in adults and children as young as 6 months).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SINGULAIR will NOT replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. You should still have rescue medication available and continue to take your other asthma medications unless your doctor tells you to stop. For asthma, SINGULAIR should be taken once a day, in the evening as prescribed, whether or not you have asthma symptoms. If your symptoms get worse or you need to increase the use of your rescue inhaler, call your doctor at once.
Side effects are generally mild and vary by age, and may include headache, ear infection, sore throat, and upper respiratory infection. Side effects generally did not stop patients from taking SINGULAIR. Check with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing. SINGULAIR should be taken once a day, as prescribed. SINGULAIR is available by prescription only.
