Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I see a lot of people who take both. It is important that you rinse your mouth out, and spit, after you use your Advair. The normal dose of Singulair is a 10mg pill. They also have 5mg and 4mg pills. > I've been started on Singulair along with my Advair (100/50) in the hopes to > wean me off Advair due to mouth problems.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm one of those nuts who always reads the complicated medical professionals' insert for medications. Buried in the jumble of Singulair facts is some info indicating that tests have shown that doses higher than 10mg have no increased effect on anyone, unlike many other medications. So I would imagine that 10 is the amount for everyone on it, unless like you they require a smaller dosage. Being medication sensitive, you should be cautious about taking any aspirin with Singulair or for hours either way of the dose, because aspirin causes higher levels in the bloodstream and it stays medically available for a longer period of time. I'm on 10mg, but sometimes when the only samples my nurse has available are 5 mg, rather than take two, I'll take just one, along with a couple aspirin. I'm also on a variety of allergy medications and Advair. TC Judy --- wrote: > I'm on 10 mg of singulair once a day and Advair > (250/50) 1 puff twice a day.
