singulair

Avatar f tn I take singulair and doxepin perscribed by my allergist to control hives. I sometimes breakout with red pimple sores that hurt. A medical friend said the sores look like spider bites, but I'm sure they aren't. Can either singulair or doxepincause this reaction, and if so, what can I do for the sores short of not taking the medicine. Benidryl and oether similar medicines do not control my hives.
Avatar n tn Since July 22 of this year I have been breaking out in what was hives at first on a daily basis. Usually on my legs, and stomach. Then recently it has just been red patches that are around my nose and under my arms; with occasional patches on my arms, legs. I have been to my internist weekly since the last week of July. She sent me to a dermatologist who I have been seeing for a month now. No one can figure out what it is.

Avatar n tn For the past year, I have been suffering from Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria. At first, the hives were quite sporadic, occurring once or twice a month, but since December 09, they've been occurring daily. They appear at different areas on my body (including my palms), but rarely on my face, and usually last 2-3 hours. I've been tested for allergies, both food and environmental, and the only positives were certain molds, trees, and grasses.
Avatar f tn What do you find Singulair did for you? I found that, for me, it did nothing.
Avatar f tn One month ago ( around the time that I stopped nursing my 10-month-old) I started getting random lip swelling. From there it turned into itchy hives all over my body. I got a lot of blood work done for my allergist and immunologist everything came back normal but my CU index (chronic urticaria) was slightly elevated suggesting it's autoimmune response. He tested for a large variety of autoimmune disorders. The doctor is treating my symptoms with Zantac, Zyrtec, and Singulair.
198419 tn?1360242356 Hi, I've been on Rebif for 2+ years now, and I had an occurrence of hives about 6 months after I started taking it. I didn't have another incident until a few months after that one, but then they were consistent--like, everyday consistent--and I ended up going to an immunologist to get some help. After months of trying antihistamines, he finally consented to an allergy test and ran panels on every basic allergen.
Avatar f tn After a visit to the dermatologist she increased my antihistamines to 3 Zyrtec a a day and a singulair. She also prescribed a cortisone cream. None of this helped the itch which was super intense at nighttime. By new years eve I was on a 3 week round of prednisone which finally gave me some relief. However the day I came the rash started back up again. I had a skin biopsy which came back as "general inflammation". It test negative for DH, Scabies or any other bacterial component.
Avatar m tn hav been taking singulair for 3 years. Cramps in fingers, throat and leg occured common. Shoulders drooped. Standing and sitting posture gone really bad. Extreme tiredness 24X7.

Avatar n tn I was taking Singulair for just 5 days for and upper respiratory cold and began having tingling and numbness in my extremities. I stopped immediately. My question is, after eliminating all other possible causes (through a number of tests including MRIs, blood work, metals testing) with my doctor, I still have numbness, tingling and burning taking place in my legs and arms for 3 months now. Has anyone experienced such long term effects? If so, what can be done if anything?
Avatar f tn Urgent care doc gave me a trial of Singulair (10 mcg for 3-month) and started feel less cough, chest tight (now use 2-4 puffs per month) and tickle, but still feel a bit congested. In Aug, my PCP referred me to ENT and suggested to add Astelin for treating me persistent rhinitis. I did an allergy blood test for 13 kinds of environmental allergen but it’s negative. I did ask my PCP if I am having asthma. She said it’s only an allergy.
Avatar f tn My mother has Graves disease, brother has Hoshimotos, one sister hyperthyroid, one sister hypo. I have been diagnosed with chronic hives, went to an allergist, completed poke tests and I'm not allergic. He sent me for labs and everything came back "normal". Besides the hives, I have sensativity to extreme temperatures, fatigue, joint pain, and the inability to lose weight. My labs are as follows. TSH 0.770, Free T4 1.1, anti-thyroglobulin <15.0, Anti-thyroid peroxidase 37.8.
Avatar m tn I do not have health insurance and have an alternative source for medications. Would it be advisable for me to purchase Singulair for 3 months to get me through those three months next year. This year was a bit difficult without it.
Avatar m tn i just wanted to post a warning to other parents. my son was on singulair for over 3 years. he was taking the drug for treatment of mild asthma and allergies. he suffered from undetected side effects for 3 years. the side effects were sneaky and subtle and i did not pick up on the cause. at the age of 7, his physician increased his dosage to 5mg due to his age. after that increase, his side effects became loud and clear.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Singulair for a few months now and I haven't noticed any negative side effect. I take it along with a daily inhaler for my asthma and it really has helped me a lot.
920032 tn?1550680156 lately my overnight breathing is causing me problems. i asked my gp for singulair but she prescribed atrovent. it does get mucus up but i am waking to cough it up. i have excersize induced asthma. it was on this site that i heard about singulair.
Avatar n tn If you notice a pattern to your symptoms that seems related to a certain food, stop eating it for a while and see if the hives stop.Also, do not exercise for 4 to 6 hours after you eat. You should stop exercising as soon as you notice the hives. If the hives don't go away in 5 to 10 minutes, or if you have other symptoms, call your doctor right away. It can be Exercise-induced anaphylaxis.

Avatar f tn Your urticaria may respond to a combination of Zyrtec and Singulair. Ask your doctor for a prescription for the Singulair. Zrytec is available as an over the counter medication.
Avatar n tn Now I would get red patches and my body would break out into hives, or at least I think they were hives. Tiny red spot all over my arms, neck, shoulders, sometimes their were individual tiny spots and sometimes they formed together to make this big red mass. Also I sometimes got these goosebumps on my arms , but only on my upper arm never on my forearm, and on my back too, and my skin would get really tight. Also since September I have not been able to sweat, I always break out into hives.
Avatar f tn I have been on 5 -6 courses of steroids and I continue to be on a double dose of Zyrtec, a double dose Xyzal, 1 doses of Doxepin and a dose of Singulair. These have worked for a while and then the hives come back even stronger. The Allergist now wants to add a dose of cyclosporine and if that does not work he wants to add a dose of Methotrexate – all of which have side effects that have to be monitored on a regular basis.
Avatar f tn Asthma causes your airways to spasm causing breathing problems and could be triggered by cold weather. You may also consider getting tested for allergies, as the trigger for your breathing problems.
Avatar f tn Hi, Yes, some people might develop allergic reactions in the form of facial swelling, hives, asthma, breathing difficulty, shock etc with use of ibuprofen. Most commonly there is aspirin allergy noticed in coincidence with allergy to ibuprofen. Asprin belongs to salicylate group while ibuprofen belongs to NSAID’s group. It does not mean that allergy will occur to every compound of that group.
Avatar n tn Also during this time my iron was low so I had to go to the hospital weekly for iron infusions. The hives lasted for a year exactly and went away on its on. Now I had my third child in December 2009. 3 months after having my child now I have just started getting hives again. I now each time I get them they get worse. Could it me linked to my pregnancies? Is it a hormone or blood imbalance? Who should I see?
Avatar f tn I was also taking hydroxizine50mg,zyrtec,pepcid, singulair and benidryl. I was still getting the hives and rashes.The steroids and the hives are making me crazy. I havnt been able to totally quite smoking but have cut down .Im now on 30mg prednisone,pepcid,singulair,synthroid and benedryl. I only take the benedryl when I need it. I seem to get maybe 2 or 3 days withoutthe rash, however now my face seems to be swelling quite often .
Avatar f tn I also became allergic to NSAIDs and aspirin about 3 years ago. I have also been experiencing bouts of hives on and off for about 5 months on my feet and lower legs. This last flare-up that I am experiencing currently, has been going on for about a week and a half where hives cover my lower legs and feet. I have also noticed some places on my hands and arms. I have experienced some angioedema in my hands and feet when it gets really bad.
Avatar f tn From your message, you appear to have an intolerance to the so-called non-sedating anti-histamines but hopefully will be able to take Singulair; it is a good drug for nasal allergies and also, for a fair number of people, effective treatment for asthma. And it is safe, not a cause of significant liver disease, and not associated with other side effects, deemed serious. To the best of our current knowledge, the long term use of a nasal steroid, as directed, does not pose a problem.
Avatar n tn My husband has battled asthma now for over 20 years. 2 years ago he was put on Advair disk inhaler, Singulair, and Allegra D as his regimen. After about a month he started having a problem with his legs and groin itching. He took himself off the Singulair as that is what he decided was the problem. He has gotten by with just the Advair inhaler. In the past month he's really been struggling with breathing problems.
