Montelukast Tablets

[MattPhillips78]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well and I wish you all a belated, Happy New Year.

I wanted to ask anyone who is taking Montelukast, what time they take theirs?

My respiratory consultant, and the box they come in both say to take at night, but I was wondering at what time others take this and whether I can take it on an empty stomach?

Thank you in advance for your kind help,

Best Wishes and keep well,

Matthew

I take mine 9pm or later (I have an alarm set for 9pm, but often don't take them until I go to bed which may be much later). That will normally be a reasonable time after last eating.

Thank you so much for your kind repy, I really appreciate that. I have been taking it after my evening meal, but I think taking it on top of all that food it can lessen its effectiveness perhaps. I'll go for 9pm, thank you for your advice.

I believe the chewable Montelukast tablets have to be taken an hour before or 2 hours after food. But the film covered tablet can be taken either with or without food. I have the film covered tablets and take them around 9pm.
