Hi there,

Montelukast (Singulair) works well for me, but I do use it combination with a lot of other medications. You do need to use it for at least a month to see if it makes a difference for you. Although some people notice the difference more quickly. I did find when I started using it O had some very vivid dreams, and this apparently is common.

Best

Hi, if you type Montelukast into the Search British Lung Foundation box (above right) it will bring up several older threads on this subject. There are many differing opinions on it and its effectiveness, which emphasises how very different our reactions to different medications can be.

I have been taking it for many years without problems. I hope you will be one of those who also find it very effective.

Best wishes, Annie
