Could singulair (montelukast) for kids work straight away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pls see answer: Singulair (montelukast) is not a quick acting medication. If your child has asthma and has symptoms of asthma, typically albuterol inhaler with a spacer device is used to quickly relieve symptoms. Singulair (montelukast) may take days to weeks to be effective.
