let's take this one step at a time. first of all singulair is the brand name of the drug montelukast. so your medication has not been changed. it's just that you're now taking a generic drug whereas before you were taking the brand name product. second montelukast is not an asthma medication. it is made to treat seasonal allergies (hay fever) in adults. montelukast belongs to a class of drugs called " leukotriene inhibitors. " these medications work by blocking inflammation of tissue that has been exposed to a substance that usually causes an allergic reaction in a person. so to answer your question if you have seasonal allergies and your doctor prescribed montelukast (singulair) to treat it then yes you may feel free to take it as directed. if you feel the medication is not effective you can return to your doctor to see if there's something else you can try. i hope this clears things up for you!
