A member asked:

What to do if i hate using inhalers, can i take singulair (montelukast) instead of flovent for my prevenative?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Singulair (montelukast) is approved for prevention of allergies and asthma. Whether it's right for your asthma as an alternative to your Flovent is a good question for your doc. The two meds work very differently.
