stopping singulair

[Moose1]

hi,

I'm between doctors at the moment (just moved to uni), other wise i would ask there.

Before I left home, my doctor agreed to me stopping singlair over the winter months, see how I get on.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if the symptoms were to come back, how quickly would it be? I realise the drug must stay in the body for a certain number of hours.

Thanks

Hi

Did you find Singulair helped you at all? I found it made no difference - so I came off it. I also take seretide and uniphyllin tablets. Seems that it is really good for some and has no effect on others.

Hi Christine,

I'm not sure exactly how long Singulair stays in the body once you stop taking it, but I can't imagine that it's more than a few days. I'm guessing that if you haven't had any ill effects in a week or two, then you are probably managing without it - although of course if you get a viral infection, that will be another test of your control without it!

Do make sure you register with a local doctor as soon as you can, won't you?

Take care

Thanks
