Skin Allergy Medicine

Asked for Female, 30 years

Dear Dr. I have been suggested by dermatologist to take montelukast sodium 5mg once a day for 2 months to control skin allergy levels. The pharmacist gave Singulair 5mg in which I saw it was written dosage from 6-14years. Can you pls let me know if I have to take the same? because the pharmacist was saying 10mg for adults. Please guide me properly and also let me know if its good to take for skin allergies issues?

Dear Patient,

At you taking any other medicines apart from singular? The adult dose of Singulair is 10mg infact but you should confirm with your doctor why he prescribed a lower dose.
Singulair is used to treat allergic illnesses of any sort. If your allergies are not settling with antiallergy alone then you can take Singulair.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Dermatologists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
