Question 1

can singulair help my post nasal drip & tonsil stones? i take claritin and and still have constant drainage.

Accepted Answer

No: singulair won't, and claritin would partially help, you may very well have chronic sinusitis and may need an antibiotic, / more medicines to control your symptoms. See your doctor first, who may refer you to an ENT or an Allergist for further management, good luck

Question 2

allergies causing itching. stopped singulair (montelukast) 2 days ago from dreams and took claritin. itching started when i stopped singulair (montelukast).  singulair (montelukast) help itch?

Accepted Answer

Partly?: Singulair (montelukast) is an immune-modulator, so it reduces the body's response to allergens and irritants, so not impossible to see an increase in allergic type symptoms.  Talk to your dr.

Question 3

ra patient. i still get chronic swelling in lips and face despite taking loratadine fomatadine zertec hydroxyzine singulair (montelukast). why despite the treatmnt?

Accepted Answer

May be doage issue:: Combining an H1 &amp; H2 blocker together usually works. But hydroxyzine becomes an H1 blocker, so it is redundant.  But the most potent H1 and H2 receptor blockers is the same drug: Doxepin, a generic. Fifty mg of doxepin at night should really help with the other two!

Question 4

5 year old cough. has been going on for 6 weeks. been to dr. 5 times. tried antibiotic, singulair, (montelukast) and claritin .  no cough when asleep. help?

Accepted Answer

Possible habit cough: Occasionally a child develops a habit of coughing, like sucking their thumb.  It's not something they think about doing, it just happens.  They aren't doing it on purpose.  Most other causes of cough would happen even when sleeping.  Many pediatric pulmonology (lung) offices have someone that specializes in therapy for habit cough.

is it safe to take claritan and singulair (montelukast) together? my sister in law accidently gave claritan to my daughter this am with out checking with me but i'm not completely sure myself. she takes singulair (montelukast)  at night. thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

Singulair, (montelukast) Claritin : Singulair (montelukast) and Claritin have different method of working , They are ok if taken together , may cause more drowsiness .

Question 7

my asthma has been out of control for 6 days now. i currently take singulair at bed, clariten d in am, ampule of xopenex 3x a day and flonase 2x a day. should i add flovent? still short of breath.

Accepted Answer

Odd program: You need to visit with your doc or an asthma specialist. I would not consider this much of an asthma action plan. To start with you should be on Flovent at least daily most of the year with increased doses when symptoms occur. Xopenex should rarely be needed if you are on a proper daily plan. Yes start Flovent now at least 2X/d but contact your doc.

Question 8

what should i do for allergies if anti histamines don't work? i have persistent coughing but no other allergic reactions. i have tried alegra, claratin, and singulair (montelukast).

Accepted Answer

You : You should see an allergist  and make sure that the cause is allergy for which you may need another form of medication, asthma, or another cause of cough either reflux or an infectious process among the other sources for this process.

Question 9

do these medications have aspirin in them and also are they inflammatory medications? montelukast nurtec loratadine melatonin pantoprazole topiramate?

Accepted Answer

: Your question about several medications with different approved indications for multiple disorders is confusing.  Aspirin is not a component in any of them as expressed.  Are you taking all of these?

Question 10

dx'd  mastocytosis htn psvt cypd2d6/2c9/2c19 genome mutations. current meds ketotifen montelukast diltiazem benadryl claratin.  can i take a xanax?

Accepted Answer

Be cautious: As Xanax would interact with diltiazim and Benadryl, CNS depression can occur, talk to your prescriber re using the lowest dose of Xanax , and be spaced from diltiazim/Benadryl. Good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications
