Singulair 4 mg Chewable Tablet

Singulair 4 mg Chewable Tablet contains 4 mg of montelukast in each chewable tablet. It belongs to the leukotriene receptor antagonist class, which helps control allergy symptoms by blocking substances that cause inflammation and swelling. This product is used to help prevent and treat seasonal allergy symptoms and to support control of asthma-related symptoms in appropriate patients. Singulair 4 mg Chewable Tablet is a prescription medicine, and it is not meant to treat sudden breathing problems.

How it works: Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes, which are chemicals in the body that can trigger airway swelling, mucus, and allergy symptoms. In the chewable tablet form, Singulair 4 mg is taken by mouth and starts working as part of regular daily control, not as a quick-relief medicine.

The 4 mg chewable tablet is a lower-strength pediatric form of montelukast, commonly selected for younger children who are assessed by a doctor as needing this dose. It is different from higher-strength montelukast tablets because it is designed to match age-based dosing and to be easier to chew and swallow. A clinician chooses Singulair 4 mg Chewable Tablet based on the child’s age, condition, and response to treatment.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis symptom relief
• Perennial allergy symptom relief
• Asthma maintenance therapy
• Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction prevention in selected patients

• Chew Singulair 4 mg Chewable Tablet completely before swallowing; do not swallow it whole.
• Take it once daily at the time your doctor prescribes, with or without food.
• For allergy control, it is often taken in the evening, but follow the schedule given by the prescriber.
• Use this tablet regularly for ongoing control; it does not work as a rescue medicine for sudden wheezing or an asthma attack.
• If the dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Keep the tablet in the original strip/box until you are ready to take it.

Each Singulair 4 mg Chewable Tablet provides 4 mg of montelukast per tablet. It is usually taken once daily, and the total daily dose should not be exceeded unless a doctor specifically instructs otherwise. The exact dosing schedule is decided by the clinician based on age and the condition being treated.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
