Hello friends! I tried singulair 10 mg (generic) last fall, I think it was, and got a terrible respiratory infection while taking it. I had read many places that this can be a side effect (and, as I have recently learned form cromolyn, again, if there is a side effect, I will get it
).
But, of course, it could have been coincidental, but nonetheless, I stopped taking it.
Since the cromolyn was a bust, this train in moving forward. A prescription for ketotefin is being filled for me at Clark's pharmacy. While talking to Dr. Chins nurse, we started talking about singulair again.
She talked to Dr. Chin and he sent in a script for a child's dose, 4mg, to hopefully dodge any side effects.
But I was wondering....is singulair mostly for breathing and respiratory issues with MCAS? Although I do have breathing difficulties sometimes (actually had it last night), this is not a main symptom for me.
Just wanted to get some feedback on the possible benefits of singulair for MCAS. If it is mainly for breathing issues, I may not pick it up. I'd hate to add any unwarranted medications to my already lengthily list!
Thanks
