Just had a chest infection and been given antibiotics and steroids. Back on fostaire but have also just been given Montelukast to take at night. Has anyone had any experience of this, does it help?

I take montelukast…have done for years. I have generally found it helpful! Some people have varying side effects…I initially had very strange dreams but they seem to have settled.
Hope you find it helps!!
Hello Anyonio3.ive been on it for donkeys years.it has helped, more my rhinosinusitis, so it's worth taking.it was a gamechanger whn my grandson went on it at age 4.it really helped his asthma x
I have been on Montelukast for years - one at bedtime. It made a big difference.
Thanks guys I'll give a try!
Hello Antonio3I hope you feel better! Many people say they have good effects from Montelukast. I tried it more than once over the years. Each time I developed mood swings and intense negative feelings. I stopped it and immediately felt better.
Hi I've been on Montelukast for over a good year now, the difference it made was the difference between night and day, for me.
what I came realised is the difference you get depending on which generic you have, I began with Dr Reddy's ( brand name), then they changed to Manx (brand name) for about 6 months, it worked but not as well but then they changed it back to Dr Reddy's and since been back Dr Reddy's I've had no wheezing.
As I remembered the brand name I asked to remain on Dr Reddy's of which they have agreed.
I know I prattled on a little lol so what I'm saying is it has worked for me, I hope this helps
