square yellow pill ## Ijust wanted to know what this pill is??? can someone help me? ## Pill Image Singulair is actually the name of the pill, it is used to treat respiratory allergies and asthma, this is a 10mg tablet. The active ingredient or generic name would be Montelukast, however, they are currently only available in the brand name. This is not, however, an asthma attack rescue medication, this is a long-term treatment to help prevent and reduce the number of allergy and asthma attacks.

Can you take montelukast 10mg and Belviq together.And how long before the pill start to work. ## Hello, Bren! How are you? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these two medications, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. The FDA lists Belviq as being used to aid in weight loss and while some people do feel some immediate effects, it generally takes about 2 weeks, before you start seeing results. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, headache, dizziness and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I tried Singulair but it caused me extremely dry mouth, so much so that despite the medication's benefits I don't know if I want to continue using it. Does this side effect of dry mouth wear off with continued use of Singulair? If so, after how long? ## Hello, Shira! How are you? Yes, side effects are usually transient and taper off in severity, then go away entirely, once your body gets used to a medication. It usually takes about 4 to 5 weeks. Other typical side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly including headache, dizziness, joint pain, sweating and constipation. Sometimes sucking on mints or candies can help, or regularly sipping some water. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thanks for your reply, I do have some other questions: Can the benefits of Singula...

My 5 year old son takes 5mg singulair, 1t of zurtec and flonase spray every day. We live in michigan and he crues because he cannit breath through his nose. He has asthma as well. Anyone out there with children similar? Finding better success with different drugs in similar situation? ## Have you taken him to an allergist that treats children, or just a regular doctor? At his age, you do have to be very careful with the medications that are used and a specialist will probably be able to provide him with the most assistance in this matter. In spite of what my regular doctor tried, when I was younger, I really got no results, until I was an adult and went to an actual allergist, so I really think you should look into one for him.

Please give me information on this drug? My physician prescibed the drug singulair but it wasn't available in our community drugstore. The parmacist said that Montemax is its equivalent and I bought it instead. Thanks. ## Montelukast is the generic for Singulair. It is not available in generic form in the U.S. yet, but it is common for generics to be available faster in other countries. So it appears that Montemax is just the name that another company manufactures it under. ## hi my baby uses singulair but her pedia advised me to shift to montemax since it's cheaper and yet it has the same effects, i actually never knew about before our she told us so...so far it's ok ## my daughter use it for 4 years is it ok to continue and shes using 4mg do i need to use 5 mg now?

This medicine is an antibacterial and steroid combination used in the eye to treat infections and to relieve the redness, irritation, and discomfort associated with certain eye problems. SIDE EFFECTS, that may go away during treatment, include burning, s...

I take 1mg Clonazepam. 50mg trazodone for insomnia around 11pm.....10 mg singulair and 60 units Lantus at 9pm. This is pretty much my usual schedule. I've had around 5 or hrs of sleep this week. What maybe the problem? ## Hello, Dee! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. How long have you been taking these doses? You may have developed tolerance to them, if you've been on them for awhile. Alternatively, you may be more stressed than usual, or you may have changed something in your diet that is causing it. The Singular could also be a culprit. Have you changed the time you take it, or the dose recently? The FDA classifies Clonazepam as a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness,...

Pranlukast

Pranlukast (brand name Onon, ) is a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 antagonist. This drug works similarly to Merck & Co.'s montelukast (Singulair). It is widely used in Japan. Medications of this class, which go under a variety of names according to whether one looks at the American, British or European system of nomenclature, have as their primary function the antagonism of bronchospasm caused, principally in asthmatics, by an allergic reaction to accidentally or inadvertently encounte...

Our 7 YO daughter has had unexplained hives and rash for over 9 months, treating with hydroxyzine, Zantac, Singulair, and Xyzal. It had mostly cleared up and then she caught a cold so we gave her the recommended dosage of Veramyst. Within 24 hours her hives and rash were back, with fever, swollen feet and hands, and one bloody nose. The last dose was over 3 weeks ago and symptoms are diminishing, but still present (100.1 fever this morning). Has anyone else experienced reactions like this? ## my almost 6yo daughter was placed on antibiotics and veramyst for a sinus infection. She had about 3-4 doses of veramyst during a week's time. I had missed a couple of days of it and gave it to her before bedtime. She awoke a few hours later with intense itching and a rash all over her body. Th...

What are the active ingredients in Trinalin? Trinalin was discontinued and I have not found a substitute medication that works as good as Trinalin did. Where can I obtain prescription? I have tried Claritin, Allegra, Singulair and Zirtec but not one works a good as trinalin did. Help! ## I have not found a med.that works as well with my system as trinalin 703. The other med.make me shake, please let me know what would have the same ingredients. ## Dystonic reactions are normal, and frequently occur with this medication, it is no longer approved for marketing in the U.S. under current FDA standards. Thus, I am not sure what would be equivalent, there is nothing that has the same ingredients. Keith, what other medications have you tried?

I take Lyrica, Tramadol, Effexor, Vyvanse, Valium (I have been on this medication for the past forty years because I have TMJ and it works as an muscle relaxant), Hyoscyamine, Dexilant, Singulair, and vitamins. Could any of these drugs (along or in combination) be causing me to experience amnesia? I was also recently diagnosed with ADHD. ## Hello, Laura! How are you doing? I am sorry to read of the problems you've been having. Regarding the amnesia, or forgetfulness, that is listed among the possible side effects of Lyrica and Tramadol, while Vyvanse, Valium, Singular, and Hyoscyamine can all cause nervousness, and other ADHD-like symptoms. (Remove the Vyvanse, if you weren't taking it, when the ADHD appeared.) There is no way to say if your issues are due to just one of them, o...
