    I had asthmatic symptoms, basicly unstopable cough. My doc did recommend me this even tho I was never diagnosed with asthma. I had a flu and after flu I could not get rid of the itchy cough for like a month. I did use 5mg Montelukast a day for 10 days and the cough was gone for ever. It is a medicine for asthmatic patients, but as well it can help with unstopable cough when You have been coughing so much Your throat is so sensitive You cant stop coughing. It just calms down Your muscles around chest and finally You can rest. The only side symptom I expierenced it made me a bit sleepy but not too much. Great drug all in all.

    Montelukast has been great for my seasonal allergies which also has been good for controlling my asthma. BUT, one dose and I get irritable the ff. day. And this is after being groggy or just the feeling of lack of energy the moment the effect hits. But hey, I'd take the side-effects over being stricken with breathing problems. I just make sure to warn my wife that I took montelukast so she knows that when I'm not my usual self, it's the meds.

    Didn't know it has bad effects to other asthma patients. I took montelukast + levocetirizine 10mg /5mg twice a day. but never had any symptoms like suicidal attempts or having nightmares..I wasnt born with asthma I got it from smoking I used it last year 2019. and this month of December, asthma attacked so I took it again. I admit I got scared taking it now since I hadn't taken it for more than a year now I just took one tablet now and I pray nothing bad side effects happen to me..can I ask if it's safe to take montelukast + levocetirizine 10mg/5mg twice a day as what the doctor prescribed me
