Monteleukast manufacturing

So there appears to be a problem with the 10mg tablets, when went to chemist they'd already been onto GP and they changed it because of the difficulties to the children's 5mg so 2 tablet's instead of one.

Interesting though is they are chewable and not bad

Normally I don't and was told back to normal next month I am told.

First time tried the 5mg (two tablets) interesting as chewable

I got my a week ago as I had the problem of them being ordered. But hopefully it will be alright soon

Same here. However! I rather like the chewable ones..... now I wonder if I can knock 40 something years off my age ...!!

I am having the same problem. I have gone without montelucast for 2 weeks now and am having trouble getting my gp to change my prescription to the 5mg ones despite several phone calls.

The issue near me is Singulair availability not the generics. Pharmacy can’t get the 10mg

Had two generics in the past both didn’t work as well. ☹️

Waiting on a text to find out what to do.

Interestingly AAH lists it as out of stock.

So LD am I right they suggested the children’s version for you but up the quantity? Would like to know if and how that has been for you.

Hi LD, just want to say thanks for your post.

After reading this and speaking to my pharmacist I got the 5mg x2 a day

I owe you a latte!

Your welcome, I didn't know the 5mg ones existed my pharmacist got 10mg prescription couldn't get any so rang GP and suggested the 5mg two tablets.

I personally feel no different from the 1x 10mg to 2 x 5mg except 5mg are nice to take.

I have been on Monteleukast for many years now but noticed no difference between the tablets themselves.

That’s good to hear.

I finished my last adult one last night, so now on the 5mg.

All the best and thanks again for that info.
