Singulair is "as good as" inhaled corticosteroids or long-acting beta-agonists for asthma
July 2011
Patients are hearing that Singulair is "as good as" inhaled corticosteroids or long-acting beta-agonists for asthma.
This comes from a new study that suggests leukotriene antagonists are "essentially equivalent" to using an inhaled steroid first...or to adding a long-acting beta-agonist second in adults.
Now some patients are hoping to replace a twice-daily inhaler with a once-daily pill. Plus, Singulair will be generic next year.
