Singulair on a night

6 Replies

Just wondered why you have to have Singulair on a night, I forgot to take mine last night and thought maybe I could've taken it this morning but didn't just incase.

Any ideas?

Might make u drowsy I think.Im on it also x

I have no idea. I have given it to my 2yr old daughter in the middle of the day on occasion and it made no difference whatsoever.

The leaflet with the medicine packet should say what to do if a dose is missed.

It is designed to control asthma symptoms over night. Or that was what i was told when i was put on it 8 years ago.

Yep i used to take it in the mornings. I used to get really bad dreams so they switched it to morning and was fine but please do check with dr/nurse first!

presumably easier not to forget it at night. In the US they prescribe it differently, and for those who use it for exercise induced asthma, it's only taken on they days the patient exercises, usually at least 2hrs before.
