A member asked:

Is singulair (montelukast) effective in treating vasomotor rhinitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

No: There is no study supporting its efficacy. However it may be helpful for allergic rhinitis (50%) ; especially Aspirin exacerbated rhinitis. A nasal antihistamine may also be helpful for vasomotor rhinitis yet you are apparently not on it.

A member asked:

Prescribed Singulair for 6 month treatment by ENT for allergic rhinitis. I have read about a lot of scary side effects and honestly am afraid to take it. Is it safe to take this long? Also taking a 21 day regimen of bilastine and 90 days of Nasonex?

A member asked:

Is it a good idea to chronically use montelukast+levocetrizine for allergic rhinitis. Symptoms happen throughout the year. ENT suggested immunotherapy. But my internist is confident with using medication everyday on an indefinite basis (10 years)?
