Answers:
Singular is NOT something thta actually prevents wheezing!. It is a maintence therapy!. You can go ahead and take one now then take the other tomorrow a little later in the day and so on until your back on track!. Missing one dose isn't enough time for it to be totally out of your system!. I would hope you also have an inhaler that you carry, you should use it if you feel wheezy!. ** OTC inhalers are NOT safe! You should have one that your doctor prescribed and if youdon't have it with you call the pharmacy you use and see if they can get a fill for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Do you have something for symptomatic relief, like a salbutamol inhaler!? If so, try taking that, and if not take your singulair!. I'm sure it won't hurt to double up a little on it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
DO NOT DOUBLE UP ON SINGULAIR! What kind of Medical student are you!? If you are having shortness of breath, you can go to your local pharmacy and pick up an over the counter inhaler!. Singulair is only a once a day pill!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
