It is not clear what you mean by 'advantage'. I know of no such drug. Neither Singular or Zyrtec would be on my list of first line asthma meds. You need to meet with his doc and develop a written asthma plan based on a controller med like Flovent and a rescue inhaler like albuterol. Written plans allow home changes based on day to day changes in symptoms.

A review of his asthma and allergies is available with a virtual consult with Healthtap. If he is without any symptoms while off the medication, discuss using his inhalers on an as needed basis. Avoid overuse of Albuterol. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, cough and wheezing.
