spring has always been the worse time for my asthma. i got put on singulair in feb and so far since then i rarely suffer with very tight and hard to breath chest. on the days i do have a problem singulair seems to bring the flem up so it is in my throat rather than stuck in my lungs all day. i was told this only helps if your asthma is allergy based. i was wondering have other people had similar help from singulair?

I tried Singulair and it didn't do enough for me. I switched to Flovent and that worked well. My doc just gave me samples of Advair to try because it's not as many doses. I like it so far.

My husband uses Singulair and he is very happy with it. He also has seen an increase in mucus being readily brought up with the tablets.
Take care

I'm on singulair and flovent, and it has been an amazing difference

I am on singulair right now, and am experiencing the same sensation as u Rosilita..... Except that I am feeling the phlegm everyday so far since i started taking the course again a week ago. Anyone else having this sensation too? Anyone knows how to get rid of the phlegm "gut" feeling? The only time it goes away is when i lie down, and rest. My doc has not told me any of the side effects or what Singulair actually does, so I am wondering if the everday phlegm sensation is normal?

MY phelem isn't everyday. i think flem up in our throat has got to be a lot better than it stuck in the lungs. i know i can expand my chest better. to the previous person who said they didn't get much response from it and got more from the steroid inhaler, your right. my doctor said only asthma that is caused by allergies will get real help from it. all i know this is the first spring in years i don't feel like a truck is sitting on my chest when i try to exhale.

i did not find Singulair to work that well for me. I also had quite a few mrning headaches. I don't think my 'asthma' is allergy based. I think it's from smoking from age 12 to age 37 and growing up with two parents who smoked. I take Flovent and Servevent 2 puffs 2x a day; it does help.
