How should I take Singulair (Montelukast)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Montelukast is usually taken once daily in the evening for prevention of asthma or allergy symptoms. For exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, take a single dose at least 2 hours before you exercise, and do not take another dose for at least 24 hours. Follow your doctor’s instructions. If you already take this medication to prevent asthma or allergy symptoms, do not use it for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Swallow the regular tablet whole, with a glass of water. The chewable tablet must be chewed completely before you swallow it. The oral granules can be placed directly into the mouth and swallowed, or mixed with a spoonful of applesauce, mashed carrots, rice, or ice cream. Oral granules can also be mixed with 1 teaspoon of baby formula or breast milk. Do not use any other type of liquid for mixing the granules. Ot
