Does singulair (montelukast) have antihisamine in it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Singulair (generic is montelukast) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist. That means it blocks the effect of leukotrienes. These are inflammatory mediators released during an allergic reaction and are 100x more potent than histamines. There is no antihistamine effect with Singulair.
