[Alice70]

I was at my niece's house yesterday she was showing me her asthma medication ,one was montilucast ,she said it was to open her airways at night ,I'm just wondering is anyone taking this medication for copd without asthma

Hi Sassy ,strange really ,when my niece mentioned montilucast ,I though I've heard that name before ,I suffer with chronic urticaria (hives)my skin specialist has tried different meds that only help a bit ,I was sure he mentioned montilucast for urticaria ,I was right he did ,I have appointment with him tomorrow,and I must bring this medication up with him ,wouldn't it be great if it worked on both x

I have been on it for a number of years, it stopped me from having to take my inhalers during the night. I have copd asthma and Bronchiectasis

Yes, I stopped it for a few months on the advice of respiratory nurses but started it again as I am definitely better with it. I have severe emphysema.

I would like to try it for two reasons ,read my reply to Sassy

Good luck Alice, I haven't had any side effects except maybe some very vivid dreams - not nightmares though - so no problem. 😄

morning,I take it for asthma,and so did my daughter when she was young .The thing to look out for are the side effects which are many and quite frightening .Fortunately i have not had any but i was anxious for awhile taking it in early days ,its more for exercise induced asthma good luck x
