A member asked:
If i wanted to go off singulair (montelukast) due to negative side effects what would the tapering off schedule look like?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doctor: Do not stop any medication without telling your doctor. If he feels you do not need 'Singulair', or there are alternatives, 'Singulair' does not need to be "tapered". You can just stop it. but, if you stop it without talking to your doctor, you run the risk of asthma symptoms coming back.
