New precautions are being added to the patient information leaflets for Singulair (montelukast)
August 1999
New precautions are being added to the patient information leaflets for Singulair (montelukast).

For example, many patients take Singulair to prevent exercise-induced asthma. Make sure they know they still need to have a rescue inhaler with them...just in case.
