I've just been put on montelukast but am wondering when in the evening to take it - an hour before bed perhaps or as I go to bed? When do others take theirs?

    Hi ,after a lot of sleeping problems in the beginning my consultant said there was no reason in his opinion why I couldn't take it in a morning ,I've done thus since December and it suits me better than taking it at night ,and day or night I have noticed an improvement in my breathing ,

    Hi cath5680, I have been on this for years i take it at night and morning but before I was taking twice a day i took it at night normally between 8 -9 as I have other medication as well so i just took them together, I think it what suits you best, as long as you remember to take it that the main thing, lol

      I've battled with sleep probs for years so I'm hoping that this doesn't cause more issues. I currently also take an antidepressant that tackles both my depression & my sleep problem which I take around 4:45pm but wonder if that's too early to take the montelukast or not.

      I am seeing my GP next week about something else (I swear 1 day I'll rattle lol) & must remember to ask her!

    I was prescribed Montelukast for Exercise Induced Asthma. I take 1 x tablet just before bed.

    The Montelukast works so well that it is now the only asthma medication that take - I do have a symbicort inhaler available just in case - but I haven't used it for months.
