Reply #11: Best allergy/asthma medicine I've ever taken..

[cannabis_flower]

I used to take take Claritin and Advair which was a combination inhaled bronchial dilator/steroid. I have very bad allergies to pollen, dust and mold and I had asthma. I switched to Singulair and nothing else about a year ago and my allergies and asthma have been better controlled than they ever have been before. I cannot remember the last time I have had to use my Ventilyn inhaler and can now stand directly next to Ligustrum bush (big waxy leaved tree with huge white fragrant flowers) without sneezing for over half and hour. I used to sneeze immediately and repeatedly if I was anywhere near one of them.

As far as I can tell there have been no side effects. If there is any history of diabetes in your family steroids are best to be avoided if at all possible. This is a medicine that can be taken long term and doesn't seem to have any serious side effects that I am aware of. Of course, I am not a doctor but this is just my experience. I was sick all the time and had bronchitis 4-6 times a year for several years. I have lost over 60 lbs and have not had bronchitis since April. Of course, Singulair is probably not the sole reason for this. I had other medicine changes around the same time so that could be part of the reason.
