How Does It Work?
Singulair is used to prevent asthma attacks in adults and children as young as 12 months old. Singulair is also used to prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (narrowing of the air passages in the lungs) in adults and children who are at least 6 years old. It is also used to treat symptoms of year-round (perennial) allergies in adults and children who are at least 6 months old. It is also used to treat symptoms of seasonal allergies in adults and children who are at least 2 years old.
Singulair blocks the action of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes are fatty signaling molecules that the body produces when there is inflammation. They are thought to play a key role in triggering asthma and hay fever symptoms. These molecules contribute to the way asthma develops, causing a range of effects. When a person inhales asthma triggers, such as pollen, the body reacts by releasing leukotrienes. Leukotrienes cause swelling and redness in the lungs and airways. The muscles in the airways tighten, resulting in asthma symptoms, including: shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing. When Singulair blocks leukotrienes, it helps to prevent asthma symptoms.
