Common Questions and Answers about Singulair for pet allergies

singulair

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 n tn I take it for allergies. I also have been taking zyrtek along with it because of my allergies being so bad.
796974 tn?1237688273 You must get an allergy test done, either a skin test or by RAST, to know what you are allergic to. Seasonal allergies are generally due to pollen or dust. Any cosmetic you apply on face or eye or even for your hair like shampoos or dyes too can cause allergies. The palpitations you feel at different places can be tingling sensation due to allergic reaction. Calamine lotions and other over the counter preparations with camphor/menthol do help to reduce the tingling. Hope this helps.
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 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.
Avatar m tn It blocks the activity of undesirable leukotrienes , produced by the body, that cause the symptoms you describe. It is often helpful for the treatment of nasal allergies, its biologic action different than that of antihistamines and inhaled nasal steroids but its actions often complementary to these drugs. It is often effective for the symptoms you describe.

Avatar f tn I find that just taking medications when needed is not really managing my asthma.
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 Sooo.
Avatar f tn My dog had her blood work tested for allergies and is currently having shots now for almost a year. Her stomach is breaking out so bad now and her skin on her stomach has got so thin from all the Cortizone sprays, injections etc.. Our vet has takin her off all Cortizone do to skin thinning out. Do you know of any other product we can use instead of Cortizone. "Jersey" our dog is always licking and not resting much because of this.
1135961 tn?1279145314 Thank you very much for your response. I made an appointment with a specailist to see what he says. I think maybe your right about the allergies, because I seem to always get these attacks when Im at home. I vacume everyday , and use a humindifier. Would it help to take claritine ? A friend told me to get a purifier ? Does that help?
Avatar n tn My nose had a bad reaction to the nasal spray the one time I tried it - it became very congested and I was sneezing for an hour. I have been taking Singulair (prescribed by my PMD) for the past week and it has helped a little but not as much as I expected (Still congested at night). Also, I haven't been able to wear my contact lenses for the past 3 weeks. At first it was because of itchy eyes but now they're just very dry.
Avatar n tn He occasionally has a cough in the morning but nothing at night, and nothing during the rest of the day. He is off the nebulizers for now and is staying on his singulair. Am I missing something w/the dark circles? Any thoughts on why they're not going away?
Avatar n tn After a few days, those went away, but then my throat started hurting even worse than before. So, for a third time I went to the doctor and got tested for mono and strep A. I tested positive for mono, but negative for strep A. I then took two weeks off from work and school to sleep and be a couch potato. The soreness went away, but the swollen tonsils and congestion didn't.
Avatar n tn My allergiest prescribed Singulair for my season allergies not for PLE. But trust me it works! I have suffered with this for 20 years. Good luck!
Avatar n tn ve been on Advair since Sept 2007 with ZERO side effects. I used Zyrtac for my allergies. The pollen in Atlanta really aggravated my asthma when exercising outside, so my Doctor put my on Singulair. After two doses I'm itchy all over, including the groin! I'm going to stop taking the Singulair - these side effects aren't worth it!
Avatar f tn I take zyrtec, singulair, flonase and astepro for the allergies and sinus. My ENT is stumped. How can I get my taste and smell back?
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 f tn I've been getting sick with a cold just about once a month for the past 6 months. My doctor told me it's because my asthma and allergies are not under control. I was on Advair for a few months, and they switched me to Asmanex because I was still getting frequent coughs. I'm on Zyrtec for allergies. I haven't been to an allergist yet to see what I'm allergic to (have an appointment coming up).
Avatar m tn I have constant dry cough, and wheezing upon exhaling, has been 12 days now. Dr put me on antibiotics for 5 days, now Singulair but upon reading it doesn't even address my cough. What was he thinking? I need a 2nd opinion. Not on any meds, good health, so must be viral, subject to bronchitis but this will not clear.
Avatar m tn But I do believe they are allowed up to 400ug/day safely before any side effects become apparent, such as slowed growth. Does he have a lot of air born allergies? Allergy shots really worked well for my daughter with her allergy/asthma symptoms. It's better then over medicating them. Plus the child is much happier with less symptoms plaguing them. Depending on how old he is, but he might be ok. with getting shots every week. I started my daughter on them when she was 9 years old.
Avatar f tn I am a mother of a 26 year daughter who recently pulled the plug on taking a daily dose of Singulair (it was generic) after over a year. It was used as a maintenance treatment for chronic allergies and sinus infections. Seemed to work ok, however in the 6 months there had been a couple times she rushed herself to the doctor for symptoms that no one even thought to suspect the allergy medication. First there was numbing and tingling in her arms.
Avatar f tn My 3 year old son has been prescribed singulair for severe allergies and possible asthma.He has only been taking it for a couple of weeks actually i stoped it for 2 days unsure of giving it to after reading the sideaffects. I decided to give it to him again on the terms I would watch him closely and if i notice any sideaffects stopping the drug.Im just looking for some opinions on this drug.Any advice would help.
