What is Singulair Used for?
Singulair is prescribed for treating symptoms of allergies and to prevent asthma attacks from occurring in adults and children from the age of one year. Singulair may also be prescribed to prevent air passages in the lungs from narrowing due to exercise. It is a leukotriene inhibitor and works by preventing the body from releasing leukotrienes which cause the lungs to swell and the muscles in the airways to tighten, thus resulting in asthma attacks.
