Zafirlukast

[HaleyA2017]

Hello Everyone!

I am 24 years old and I have been diagnosed with asthma for almost a year. To top it off, I have also discovered I am allergic to a number of trees, grasses, and weeds. I am a very outdoorsy person. So that is very disappointing.

I am posting to ask about a recent medication my allergist has prescribed me. The medicine is called Zafirlukast. Has anyone experienced weight gain? I am very concentrated on physical activity and maintaining my current weight. Any feedback will be helpful! Thanks!

What are you doing to relieve the allergies? Not just the symptoms.

"Zafirlukast is used to control and prevent symptoms (such as wheezing and shortness of breath) caused by asthma."

I was using Stinging Nettle to control the allergies. It helped some but not enough.

I am now seeing a DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) who gave me D-Hist orthomolecularproducts.com/... exceprt below.

It has really helped me to cut way down on the rescue inhaler.

I found a cheaper brand with the same ingredients online - at half the cost!

Best of luck!!
