I take both Montelukast and Losarton together at the same time of day without any issues, always by 8pm as to avoid reflux (taking pills or food at bedtime is asking for reflux). I was advised by the pharmacist that taking BP pills in the evening increased their effectiveness, something to do with BP activity overnight.
Have you talked to your doctor about the nightmares? That's a sign the Montelukast is crossing the blood-brain barrier which it does in some people. My doctor took me off it for that reason. Just an FYI-
The way I understood it, is that it's a barrier to the brain that prevents meds in the bloodstream from going into the brain. In some people, montelukast can cause suicidal thoughts, depression, psychadelic nightmares etc. when the medicine goes through this barrier into their brain. It's why it has a black box warning in the states. However! Many people take it and have a great experience with it and no reactions. It's an odd drug.
sorry about the burping ,,,, awful isn’t it , i’m thinking of taking mine after evening meal ,,,as when i take it at bedtime and lie down that’s when the indegestion starts,
