Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Here's the key phrase: " Allergic Hepatitis/Idiopathic Hepatic Failure " and if you look through the PDR, all drugs present with potential allergic responses. People are often allergic to antibiotics with lethal results! I think that Accolate and Singulair are quite safe medications, and there's a new leukotriene coming out soon, I believe. They can be life-savers for asthmatics, and no, I don't have stock in the company. In fact I don't tolerate either of these, they give me severe headaches. I am on theophylline and nebulize several times daily- that's my maintainance routine in add'n to cortisone and Advair. I have a niece who has been on Singulair since it was first on the market and is doing very well... finished college, works full-time & has stayed out of the hospital all these years. I'd urge you to discuss your concerns with your physician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Question, with my asthma, should I be seeing a pullmary doctor instead of my allergist, along with my regular doctor? Has anyone been suggested this to? -- RE: singulair It appears to be a good medicine for many allergy-related problems. It has helped my colitis and asthma. -----Original Message-----From: Melsa, Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 9:33 AMTo: asthma Subject: singulair Folks, My doc believes I have asthma and wants me to try taking singulair. If you have taken the medicine I would be happy hearing your experiences. How effective was it for you? How long did it take to begin helping? etc. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
