From what I understand, Singulair and Advair are not usually prescribed together. This is because leukriene inhibitors don't work on many asthmatics; it is fairly "hit or miss." Not all asthmatics produce an overabundance of leukotrienes, though it has been shown that those with aspirin sensitivity do (the same imunologic pathways that cause aspirin sensitivity also cause leukotriene overproduction). <br /><br />If leukotriene inhibitors do work for someone, generally a long acting bronchodilator is not needed. Just a steroid combined with the Singulair should suffice. If a long acting bronchodilator is needed in addition to Singulair, then the Singulair usually isn't working very well (or at all). <br /><br />Singulair side effects are minimal and if your asthma is bad enough it is warranted to through Advair, Singulair, Xolair, and the kitchen sink at it though. I just wonder if you could save yourself some money by dropping the Singulair or replacing the Advair with Flovent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423880838207203660.post-65663046530233205092012-09-08T04:57:45.910-04:002012-09-08T04:57:45.910-04:00Thank you so much for this post.

This is true that most people say that medicines for asthma are very expensive but we should also take in considerations the money involved in making those medicines as well as the time or year they spent in making huge experiments.
