Singular 4mg Granules (Paediatric)

Singulair Paediatric 4mg Granules: Effective Asthma Treatment for Children.

Singulair Paediatric 4mg Granules are a medication prescribed to treat asthma in children aged 6 months to 5 years. This medication works by blocking leukotrienes, which are substances that cause the airways in the lungs to narrow and swell, thereby improving asthma symptoms and helping to control the condition.

How It Works

• Leukotriene Receptor Antagonist: Singulair Paediatric blocks leukotrienes, which are responsible for the narrowing and swelling of airways in the lungs.
• Asthma Symptoms: The medication helps to prevent asthma symptoms during the day and night, making it easier for your child to breathe.

Usage Instructions

• Recommended Dosage: One sachet of Singulair Paediatric 4mg granules should be taken by mouth each evening.
• Administration: The granules should be sprinkled into a small amount of soft food, such as yogurt, or mixed with a spoonful of cold water. The mixture should be swallowed straight away without chewing.
• Time-Sensitive: The granules must be taken within 15 minutes of opening the sachet. If the sachet has been open for more than 15 minutes, discard the contents and use a new sachet.
• Supervision: Always give this medicine under adult supervision.

Important Information

• Sodium Content: Singulair Paediatric contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per sachet, making it essentially sodium-free.
• Side Effects: Common side effects may include dizziness and drowsiness. If your child experiences any serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing or rapid heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately.
• Interactions: Ensure your child does not take any other products containing the active ingredient montelukast.

Additional Tips

• Monitoring: Evaluate your child’s response to the medication after 2 to 4 weeks. If there is no improvement, treatment should be discontinued.
• Storage: Do not keep the granule mixture to give later. Always use a new sachet if the previous one has been open for more than 15 minutes.

Singulair Paediatric 4mg Granules are designed to provide effective asthma management for children, ensuring they can breathe easily and comfortably. Always follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions provided by your child’s doctor or pharmacist for optimal results.
